Ο Λήο “Λεοντόκαρδος” Χάρντφιλντ θ’ αντάλλασσε όλες του τις δυνάμεις, όλο το χρήμα και τη δόξα που απολαμβάνει ως ένας από τους κορυφαίους υπερήρωες της πόλης, για την αγάπη της συναδέλφου του, Άντζελα. Ως έχει, βγάζει το άχτι του σε αυτοβιογραφικά μίνι-κόμικς για τον ανεκπλήρωτο έρωτά του. Όλα αλλάζουν όμως όταν η Κασσάνδρα, μια επίδοξη δημιουργός εναλλακτικών κόμικς, τυχαίνει να τα διαβάσει…!

Μια ιστορία γεμάτη αγάπη, ψέματα και κόμικς από τον δημιουργό του Manifesto: Ηλία Κυριαζή

“Είναι τόσο μεταμοντέρνο που είναι πανέμορφο και τόσο γλυκό που πονάει” – Becky Cloonan (Demo)

New Lionheart review

The Wordbloglar features a cool review for Falling for Lionheart. Check it out!

"The story has some really funny & sharp moments and all the supporting characters are well-defined. Ilias Kyriazis whose work I was previously unfamiliar with handles the writing & art chores like a pro. The dialogue is crisp, original & fun and the art is clean and fluid. Kyriazis has a great sense of storytelling and definitely stands on his own as a cartoonist to watch."

The Long and Shortbox of it on Falling for Lionheart

The Long and Shortbox of it rates Falling For Lionheart in the top 3 graphic novellas for 2010 and has some very cool things to say about it:

"Falling for Lionheart"
written and drawn by Ilias Kyriazis
The 'indie- film' comic for the year. [...] Emotional, but with action, sex and humor; alternative lifestyles are presented as well as mainstream ones; comics is depicted as a medium capable of expressing emotion, "Falling for Lionheart" is among the finest graphic novellas I have ever read. And furthermore, it uses different visual arts styles to VERY smart narrative effect.

Athens Voice is Falling for Lionheart

Falling for Lionheart
Ilias Kyriazis (w & a & c)
Lionheart, the world’s greatest, toughest super hero is on top of the world... publicly. With the out-of-control parties and girls throwing themselves at him, you’d think he’d be happy. But the one girl he loves, the woman he put on a pedestal, is the team tramp. Swimming in his bad mood, Lionheart meets someone else. Someone who shares his interests. Maybe he’d give her the time of day if he could take his eyes off that tramp...
