Comics Will Break Your Heart is a sweet funny contemporary teen romance for the inner geek in
all of us from graphic novelist Faith Erin Hicks. Miriam's family should be rich. After all
her grandfather was the co-creator of smash-hit comics series The TomorrowMen. But he sold his
rights to the series to his co-creator in the 1960s for practically nothing and now that's
what Miriam has: practically nothing. And practically nothing to look forward to either. How
can she afford college when her family can barely keep a roof above their heads? As if she
didn't have enough to worry about Miriam's life gets much more complicated when a cute boy
shows up in town . . . and turns out to be the grandson of the man who defrauded Miriam's
grandfather and heir to the TomorrowMen fortune. In her endearing debut novel cartoonist
Faith Erin Hicks pens a sensitive and funny Romeo and Juliet tale about modern romance geek
royalty and what it takes to heal the long-festering scars of the past (Spoiler Alert: love).
