We’ve all got dating horror stories, right? The cute guy you meet may look like an angel, but on your first date, he acts more like an alien. The woman who once bewitched you turns out to be a real witch, while your current squeeze is a vampire, sucking you dry. And the boyfriend who seems devoted to you becomes so jealous that he transforms into a green-eyed monster—literally.

This is the world of Janet Hetherington’s Eternal Romance. It’s a world filled with tales of supernatural romance—Love! Heartache! Vampires!—and other paranormal paramours. It’s also a world filled with hope, joy and humor.

Eternal Romance first appeared in 1997 as a four-issue comic book series published by Best Destiny. The best stories were later collected into the trade paperback book, Eternally Yours: Illustrated Stories of Eternal Romance. All of the stories have been written and drawn by award-winning creator Janet Hetherington, and they originally appeared in printed form in black-and-white.

For the first time, the world of Eternal Romance is being brought to you online, in full, blushing color. And what a colorful world it is!

Join the lovely, lovelorn vampire Destine, her wise-cracking cat Ankh, spunky reporter Lisa Larue, angelic alien Halkyon and a host of other memorable characters as they mix magic and misadventure in their search for everlasting love.

We hope you’ll visit the world of Eternal Romance here often. Janet will be bringing you some never-before published, or rarely seen, stories as well as the original gems, because as Destine says, in the world of Eternal Romance, it’s “Never the End!”
