INTERVIEW: Otava Heikkilä Breaks The Silence on Letters for Lucardo: The Silent Lord
Otava Heikkilä’s Letters for Lucardo is a delightful queer erotic horror comic that’s been crowdfunding volumes since 2016. It’s a must-read for fans of vampire fiction as a whole, and especially fans of the queer subtext found in stories like Interview With The Vampire; if you liked that film, imagine a comic where the queerness is much…
