With all its gorgeousness and simplicity, “Fangs” do deserve a big round of applause.

As I am a devotee of simplicity, this comics was able to capture my mind with it’s simplicity and beauty. We all know the stereotypes of the vampires and werewolves, Sarah Anderson really did a good job capturing those stereotypes and turning them cleverly at a point where it all seems so natural. And the comic book portrays the everyday life of this not-so-normal couple. This all changes one night in a bar when she meets a charming werewolf. Vamp is three hundred years old but she has never met her match. It was pretty gorgeous and funny, even hilarious at some point and not to mention, it’s undoubtedly cute.Įver wondered what a 21st century paranormal relationship would be like? Because that’s what this comic book is about. So I gave it a shot and surprisingly, “Fangs” did not let me down. Firstly, it was by Sarah Andersen, who is really talented and “Sarah’s Scribbles” has always been brilliant, secondly, “Fangs” were filled with so many cool illustrations. I finally decided to look it up, mainly because of two reasons. But then, two days ago when I found the opportunity to read the whole comic book, I was unable to resist it. When I read the summary of this comic book, I didn’t bother to check out the book because romance is not a kind of genre I adore. And the illustrations seemed very much different from the usual “Sarah’s Scribbles”. Originally a webcomic, this book has a cute premise and is a fast read.The first time I saw the illustrations from “Fangs”, were on Sarah Andersen’s instagram wall. Simple backgrounds and panel structure keep the focus on this appealing couple and their sometimes snarky conversations. The book has a striking red cover, but all the inside illustrations are done in black and white.

That they are monsters is the gag, yet some of their relationship issues are relatable as they work through the awkwardness and excitement of being a new couple. While Elsie has been around 300 years, Jimmy is a new werewolf and they both need to get used to each other’s macabre habits. Chosen as one of my Halloween reads, the story isn’t scary in the least, but was a nice break from my other horror-reads.Įlsie and Jimmy meet in a bar and hit it off and after some get to know you chatting are soon hitting the sheets. First featured as a webcomic series on Tapas, Fangs chronicles the humor, sweetness, and awkwardness of meeting someone perfectly suited to you but also vastly different.

Sarah Andersen, best known for her winsome Sarah’s Scribbles comic books ( Adulthood Is A Myth, Mig Mushy Happy Lump & Herding Cats) has created an amusing new book about Goth vampire Elsie and grunge-rocker type werewolf Jimmy. What happens when a vampire and a werewolf meet cute and fall in love?
