Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore (SIPs)

SIPs was a monthly comic that Moore, like Gaiman with Sandman, had the courage to bring the story to an end. SIPS is, like Sandman, more like a graphic novel in scope and tone than a comic. The focus is the wonderful sexy kick ass heroine Katina Choovanski, known as Katchoo, her lovely, so down on herself, on off lover and love of Katchoo's life Francine, and David, the third point of the triangle with his own terrible history, and their loves and misfortunes. The series follows the trio through Katchoo's battles with her violent and seedy past history of love and loss and their battles to find love and happiness with each other. I think the best way of reading the series is the pocket books, they are a lovely size in your hand and the spines make a fabulous picture together.
