Also, great to have a very old vampire who is not dating a teenager for once. Not only is it lovely to have a book about romance with an actual older person, but one that’s thoughtfully portrayed, both in the art and the words. Ed may look good for his age, but he does look age appropriate. Heikkilä’s art does a masterful job at showing age on bodies. However, they definitely get to making out and then having sex pretty quickly. It fits the manners of the time, and it builds a nice anticipation for the reader. His best client is Lucardo, a handsome immortal who’s over 400 years old, but turned when he was 33. Indoor plumbing and soft sheets were things only very rich people could afford.Įd works for the somewhat mysterious Night Court, which serves both as the governmental and religious bodies for immortals. It’s set right after the typewriter was invented (1868), and Heikkilä does well to show the trapping of the age. The story is told from the point-of-view of Ed, a letters scribe, who’s a queer man and 61-years-old. I’m so thankful for Iron Circus for continuing to put romantic erotica comics for women, queer folks, and anyone else looking for this type of content. This book is an ooey gooey, sticky sweet romance, and it was exactly what I was looking for. Letters For Lucardo Vol 1 by Otava Heikkilä
