Madame Bovary’s lover is a famous fictional character.
To them, and to lovers of adventure, lovers of pure escapism, lovers of unadulterated entertainment, lovers of the ridiculous and the bizarre... To funlovers everywhere... this picture is respectfully dedicated. — (Batman , 1966)
Fanged immortal protagonists, lycanthropic lovers, and fanciful faeries have become a welcome addition to the bodice-ripping heroines and shirtless, sword-wielding pirates that have traditionally served as the mainstay of romance novel covers. — (Tonya Keyser, Passion for the Paranormal , Skeptical Inquirer, Vol. 34, No. 6, novembre-décembre 2010)
