Heartbreak Hotel

In this four-issue miniseries from the late 1980s, Kate Charlesworth and Linda Parker crafted a knowing, character-driven comedy set in a seaside boarding house—the titular Heartbreak Hotel. Published by Willyprods/Small Time Ink Ltd, the strip explores the tangled lives, loves, and mishaps of its quirky residents and staff with a warm, witty touch. Charlesworth and Parker, both writing and drawing, bring a distinctive, understated charm to this short-lived but fondly remembered British independent comic.
