"Sainted Love is, in a lot of ways, the book my whole career's been building to–it's unabashed, it's bold, it's provocative, and it's sexy!" says Steve Orlando"It speaks truths through fiction, reveals history through fantasy, and is the proud, asskicking adventure that brings together the themes I've been building for years across many titles and publishers.
Sainted Love is a steamy time traveling adventure series, equal parts romance and science fiction as two heroes fight for their love while journeying across centuries of history. It's sexy, it's exciting, it's fast-paced. It's a gay romance that sees queer heroes becomes legends themselves as they explore and adventure through iconic times in queer history, from the passion of gay saints Sergius and Bacchusto to the Lavender Mafia of the 1970s, and in between.
"Sainted Love is the dream project I didn't know I needed to work on" adds Giopota. "This is only my first job ever for the US market and it's great that I'm having the opportunity to collaborate with a seasoned professional like Steve. I think I immediately clicked with him and found a method that allows us to work smoothly while having fun.
"Steve and I have been talking about working together for years. Eventually, I realized that what I wanted from him was a story that focused on the details he's managed to capture throughout his career, but which publishers have not always given the spotlight" says Vault's Co-founder and Editor-in-Chief Adrian Wassel. I wanted tangled up romances and complex friendships, expansive and inventive settings, and gay characters front and center.
Vault Comics Managing Editor Der-shing Helmer adds"It is impossible to separate comics from queerness, and watching Sainted Love proudly add its voice to the chorus has been an absolute joy. I'm incredibly proud of what the team has accomplished with Sainted Love, and excited to share their vision with the world!"with exclusive offerings for backers, and additional stretch goals and tiers to be unlocked beyond an initial funding goal.
