The Sweet Paprika comic book 12-issue miniseries by internationally bestselling creator Mirka Andolfo (Mercy, Unnatural, Deep Beyond) will launch this July from Image Comics. First announced in late 2020, Mirka Andolfo’s Sweet Paprika is part of a cross-media project, together with an animated project developed by Grey Ladder Productions, Arancia Studio, and Wild Sheep Content, with Director Gabriele Pennacchioli (Emmy Award winner in 2019 for Love, Death & Robots). The early reveal of preview pages from the series promises fans a seductive, page-turning experience.
Sweet Paprika follows the main character Paprika, a New Yorker of Italian origin, young and determined successful devil: workaholic, she is sure of herself, unstoppable, even feared. But, in her private life, the situation is very different: behind the immovable workaholic shield, Paprika hides an unexpectedly fragile soul, which is increasingly in danger of collapsing, due to the absence of interpersonal (and physical) relationships. Her heart is broken from her past and a rigid upbringing has made her a very introverted person. She wants a romantic relationship, but she doesn’t know what she’s doing. An unexpected event and the odd angel, Dill, could upset her boring and not-very-spicy existence.
