BACKGROUND: This is a graphic novel on a whole different scale: 1:6 scale, that is. Written and photographed by Elizabeth A. Allen, Love Has Fangs: Season 1 is a humorous serial with a twist: All the characters are action figures. Allen has extensively customized each 12" figure, repainting, resculpting and re-outfitting the entire cast so that they each have an appearance as unique as that of an actual person. The customized figures combine with hand-constructed sets to bring vivid 3-dimensionality to Love Has Fangs: Season 1. PLOT: Being undead is the least of Anneka Richardson's problems. There's her 140-year-old boyfriend, Will, who borrows her makeup, the weirdo customers she encounters at her bookstore job and, to top it off, her beloved grandmother's slow death by Alzheimer's. The first season of Elizabeth A. Allen's online comic Love Has Fangs finally appears in book form. It's all here -- the vampires, the melodrama and the pink hair -- in your favorite doll soap opera with bite.
