The new Nix romance comic! Every love-gone-wrong story has at least two sides, but in the case of the famous songs, we only ever get one point of view. Flipside of Love takes those stories as inspiration, but flips the narrator to give you the another version of how things went down!
The Stories:
Look Out! Look Out!: Inspired by the Shangri-Las song "Leader of the Pack." Find out what Jimmy was thinking as he raced away from Betty and towards to his tragic end! Written by Ken Eppstein with art by Pat Redding Scanlon
Hurry Home Drops: Inspired by Chuck Berry's "Memphis." A quiet story about how Little Marie has questions about why her mom and dad just can't agree.
Written and drawn by CM Campbell.
Cherry Cola: Inspired by the Kinks song "Lola." The story goes from mixed-up muddled-up shook up to outright frightening when told from Lola's perspective.
Written and Drawn by Josie Renkwitz
