Comicon Advent Calendar 2023 Day 2: The Flowers Of Romance

Welcome, welcome one and all to the annual thingy we call the Comicon Advent Calendar. Just like one of those chocolate advent calendars you remember from your childhood, just filled with comics delights…

We continue the Advent Calendar goodness this year with Neil Gaiman and John Bolton’s Flowers of Romance from the Vertigo Winters Edge anthology from 1998… where a satyr finds the days getting cold and himself getting old, until Desire of the Endless comes along and gives him just a little gift to take him into the dark…

No, not all that Christmassy, but it’s all about the spirit of the season and the changing of the years, the darkness coming to an end and the new year beckoning… y’know, all that cheery stuff.
