Cardboard Love

A single-issue comic from Blatant Image, Cardboard Love (1986) is a quiet, heartfelt story about a young woman's relationship with a life-sized cardboard cutout of a movie star. Created by a small press known for personal, character-driven work, the issue explores themes of loneliness, fantasy, and the line between comfort and delusion. Its intimate, slice-of-life approach makes it a distinctive artifact of the mid-80s alternative comics scene.
