Only the greatest passions emerge among the submerged ruins

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1919129571/no-saints-nor-poets-issue-1

Tightrope Press is excited to introduce you to NO SAINTS NOR POETS: a story about identity and pride, faith and cynicism, illegal motor-gondola races, turbulent love affairs, carnivals, sea monsters and social barriers. Check out what you can expect to see in issue one: 

After their beloved city of Serena sinks into the dark waters of the lagoon, leaving it half-submerged, a charming two-bit con artist and a disenchanted former priest reinvent themselves as delivery men working on the razor's edge, bordering between sanctity and blasphemy on their motorized gondolas. As they fight for a brighter future, they soon realize that their past is not too far behind them.

Created by the critically acclaimed duo of @iolanda-zanfardino  (You Never Heard Of Me, A Thing Called Truth, Midnight Radio) and @ohnoafterlaughsafter (Alice in Leatherland, The Least we can do), now with their first BL / MLM queer story!

You Never Heard of Me

(mini-series #1-#5, currently in progress )

The ability to touch someone and see both the best and the worst moment of their life, be it past or future, means the ability to try to change things for the better. Such power can feel like a curse, especially if you're a teenage seer who thinks he has enough problems.

A Thing Called Truth (OMNIBUS vol 1-2) 

A workaholic scientist who wants to save the world and a woman who fears nothing but discovering her own destiny find themselves mixed up in a chaotic, on-the-road adventure through Europe.

Will they manage to find a middle ground between their opposing ways of life—at least for long enough to complete their mission? And could this trip lead to an unexpected romance?

Alice In Leatherland (TP) 

Alice, a young writer of children's story books, is hurtled out of her fairytale-like life when she discovers her girlfriend has been cheating on her! Charmingly defiant, she leaves her small forest town and leaps into a new adventure to seek love (and find herself) in the fast life of San Francisco. There, her concept of pure, magical love will be completely overturned--but her biggest challenge won't be reckoning with other people's sexual drive, it'll be getting a grip on her own! From your new favorite writer and artist team of Iolanda Zanfardino and Elisa Romboli, Alice In Leatherland is a comedy about sex and so, inevitably, about every other aspect of life, too. As Iolanda and Elisa describe the book: "Sex is recounted as a way to investigate our relationship with ourselves and others, with our bodies and our place in the world; sexual pleasure as self-affirmation and growth. There is room for Love, too, and bravery. And for many good laughs, that never hurts."

Please, it's a serious question. I won't buy a book to read again they died at the end...

That's a totally legit question! Thanks for asking!

We're not supposed to say it, but we've had enough stories with tragic gay death endings. We love to create LGBTQ+ character-driven stories with sweet/romantic and epic endings as we all deserve!

So please, give a chance to our book and we promise you will not be disappointed!
