14	InterspeciesRomance in ComicBooks.
15	----
16
17	!!Franchise/TheDCU
18	* ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}'':
19	** Lois Lane and Clark Kent are probably the most famous example of interpecies romance (even though he's a {{Human Alien\|s}} Kryptonians were, up until 2016, biologically different enough from humans that they and humans couldn't reproduce).
20	** In ''ComicBook/KryptonNoMore'', Superman wonders whether he can have a relationship with a human woman despite being an alien outcast.
21	** Superman also had a relationship with ComicBook/WonderWoman in the ''ComicBook/KingdomCome'' mini-series and in the ''ComicBook/New52''.
22	** DC once printed an {{Elseworld}} story (back when they were still called "Imaginary Stories") where ComicBook/LoisLane had been killed after ComicBook/{{Superman}} settled down and had a daughter with her. At one point, he created a robot duplicate of her, which proved to be all too lifelike. Apparently, the UncannyValley doesn't faze some people.
23	* The eventual romance and implied sexual relationship between ComicBook/JimmyOlsen (human, with some plot-related variations) and the Forager ([[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe really hot female purple-skinned alien bounty hunter humanoid INSECT]]) in ''ComicBook/CountdownToFinalCrisis''.
24	* Toyed with in Creator/FrankMiller's ''ComicBook/TheDarkKnightStrikesAgain'', where Hal Jordan [[spoiler: whose control over his powers now renders him virtually omnipotent]], has left Earth and is now living [[spoiler: on Mars]], where he lives a happy, wholesome family life with his wife and son. Unlike most examples of this trope, the [[spoiler: Martians]] are not rendered physically attractive or appealing in any way; Hal Jordan instead uses his power [[spoiler: to make himself a Martian, completely capable of maintaining the form indefinitely, as well as capable of breeding with other Martians]], and is extremely reluctant to return to Earth [[spoiler: after receiving Batman's transmission]], until his wife urges him to help his own people. He only reverts back to his human form after he has already left [[spoiler: Mars]], and is quick to return as soon as his business on Earth has been finished [[spoiler: which involved him multiplying his size to that of many times the Earth, able to grasp the entire planet in his fist, crushing Lex Luthor's planet wide multi-trillion dollar WMD satellite network while leaving the planet itself unharmed.]]
25	* ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'' villain the Brain ([[BrainInAJar a disembodied human brain]]) is in a relationship with Monsieur Mallah (a genetically altered super intelligent gorilla). Disturbingly, back in the day, readers found their relationship controversial ''not'' because of the fact that it's a case of [[BestialityIsDepraved bestiality]], [[SkewedPriorities but because they are the same gender]].
26	* ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'':
27	** John Stewart married Katma Tui (alien) and hadlong-standing relationships with Merayn Dethalis and Yrra Cynril (both also alien).
28	** The [[Characters/GLGreenLanternCorps Green Lantern Corps]] seems rife with this. Hal Jordan and Arisia, Kyle Rayner and Soranik Natu, and when you bear in mind that nearly every member of the Corps is a different species, when relationships between members of the Corps were banned over 200 resigned in protest.
29	* ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': there are a lot of interspecies romances in the Legion; some of the more notable are Brainiac 5(Coluan)/Supergirl (Kryptonian), Colossal Boy (Human)/Yera (Durlan).
30	** Just about all major cast relationships are Cross-species; the Legion is compromised of tons of different species hanging out together 24/7, almost all raised with no species boundaries whatsoever.
31	** Despite their xenophobic culture Daxamites--like ComicBook/{{Valor}}--as a race are a result of this, they're the descendants of Kryptonian colonists who intermarried with the local race of Daxam which is now extinct.
32	* Mossy earth elemental ComicBook/SwampThing and his human wife Abigail Arcane. Played with considering the nearby town finds out and convicts her of {{bestiality\|IsDepraved}}. Abby flees to Gotham City where the police hold her, causing Swamp Thing to go ballistic to free her. ComicBook/{{Batman}} finally talks the Mayor into giving in considering that if he wants to hold Abby for having a relationship outside their species, then he'd better arrest half the superhero community.
33	* ''ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}'':
34	** Since Kryptonians are all but extinct, this is the only kind of romance Kara can have unless she is willing to commit incest. Among her first boyfriends were Dick Malverne (a human), Brainiac 5 (a green-skinned Coluan), and Jerro (an Atlantean merboy).
35	** "ComicBook/TheSuperSteedOfSteel": Biron, a centaur turned into a horse (called Comet by Supergirl) develops a crush on Kara, who never becomes aware of his feelings.
36	** ''ComicBook/Supergirl2005'': In addition to Brainiac 5, she had a quasi-romantic friendship with Captain Boomerang (human) and a short-lived relationship with Apokolips native Power Boy. And had a crush on [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]].
37	** In the ''ComicBook/RedDaughterOfKrypton'' story arc, Red Lanterns Rankorr--a human--and Bleez--a winged, blue-skinned alien.
38	** Subverted in ''ComicBook/ElseworldsFinestSupergirlAndBatgirl''. Most people think Supergirl and Lex Luthor are together, but their relationship isn't romantic at all (and non-existent after the events of this story).
39	** In ''ComicBook/ManyHappyReturns'', human Supergirl Linda Danvers and Silver Age Superman fall in love and get married.
40	* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'':
41	** ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} and the human/alien Koriandr of Tamaran, aka ComicBook/{{Starfire}}, in at least one continuity of Franchise/TheDCU, to the point that they're probably the second most famous example in comics after Superman and Lois Lane. She was the first of his girlfriends that he was quite blatantly implied to have had sex with, they've been engaged at least once, and they were even almost married once--as in, the only reason they aren't husband and wife is because fellow Titan Raven attacked the ceremony and killed the minister before he could complete it. Though they have drifted apart in modern continuity, both still remember and occasionally flirt with each other over their former connection. ''ComicBook/{{Convergence}}'' took it a step further; their Pre-Crisis counterparts never broke up and got married instead, and despite some difficulties, the two are still very much in love.
42	** Same goes for their fellow Titans, ComicBook/BeastBoy/Changeling ([[VoluntaryShapeshifting whatever he wants to be]]) and ComicBook/{{Raven}} (half demon.)
43	** There are other Titan couples as well, such as ComicBook/{{Superboy}} (human/alien hybrid) and ComicBook/WonderGirl (demigod).
44	* Several show up in ''ComicBook/SuperboyAndTheRavers'':
45	** The human Lindsay Wah is dating the extraterrestrial 12th Knight.
46	** After the human Hero comes out he starts dating the extraterrestrial {{Fish Pe\|ople}}rson Leander.
47	** The extraterrestrial vampire Pyra starts dating the human Byron Stark.
48	* In ''ComicBook/SuperSons'' Annual #1, Streaky the Super-Cat is implied to have a crush on ComicBook/KryptoTheSuperdog.
49	* In ''[[ComicBook/HannaBarberaBeyond Exit Stage Left: The Snagglepuss Chronicles]]'', WesternAnimation/{{Snagglepuss}}'s male lover is human, as was [[WesternAnimation/TheHuckleberryHoundShow Huckleberry Hound]]'s. (Their [[TheBeard wives]] are the same species as themselves.) In addition, it turns out [[spoiler: Snagglepuss's father is human. His mother is briefly shown in a photograph as a FunnyAnimal mountain lion, like her son]].
50	* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'':
51	** Diana's traditional love interest, and in several continuities her HappilyMarried husband and the father of her daughter, is the human ComicBook/SteveTrevor while Diana is an Amazon demigod.
52	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Diana never actually dates either of them but throughout the Silver Age Ronno the Merman and "Wingo" the male harpy were infatuated with her and spend pretty much all of their time vying for her attention. She did go on a couple of idividual dates with each though, such as being Ronno's date to a dance.
53	** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': While Diana was an ambassador for Themyscira, one of those working with her was Ferdinand, a SupremeChef minotaur (or as he called himself, a kith-o-taur), who develops an attraction towards a human scientist named Leslie Anderson (who was helping Wonder Woman's enemy Silver Swan become a normal human again as per Diana's request). Leslie develops feelings for Ferdinand as well, but for some time both are unable to express it, leading to Ferdinand believing she feels no attraction towards him due to being a different species, but eventually they do officially become a couple.
54
55	!!Franchise/MarvelUniverse
56	* A notable storyline in ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' had Mantis (human) married to a telepathic alien ''tree''.
57	* The Kree superhero ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel\|MarvelComics}} loved many a GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe, which is why all three of his children were hybrids--Genis and Phyla (Kree/Eternal) and [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Theodore "Teddy" Altman]] (Kree/Skrull).
58	** Teddy/Hulkling is married to fellow superhero Billy Kaplan/Wiccan, a mutant[[note]]Billy is also the son of the ComicBook/ScarletWitch, who was ''also'' married to a nonmutant[[/note]].
59	** Phyla and her human girlfriend Moondragon.
60	** The Captain Marvel of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe is also an example, as he started a relation with Carol Danvers (a military woman with no powers in that universe).
61	* ''ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}'' was briefly married to an alien woman named Orksa who resembled an anthropomorphic yellow hippopotamus. They divorced on good terms so she could be with someone who loved her more than he did. Both her previous husband and her next one also appeared to be different species than her. He later got married to a [[SuccubiAndIncubi Succubus]] named Shiklah, who though she can appear mostly human, is actually a huge purple demon. Deadpool met her when Dracula hired Deadpool to bring her to him for their arranged marriage.
62	* In ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', [[ComicBook/HumanTorch Johnny Storm]] and his former wife [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Lyja]]. Johnny had thought that she was human when he married her--she's a [[{{Shapeshifting}} Skrull.]] In the ''ComicBook/MarvelComics2'' Universe they are still married and have a son, Torus.
63	* ComicBook/RocketRaccoon ([[SpeciesSurname take a wild guess what he is]]) and quite a wide variety of alien species. In his original mini-series, his girlfriend was Lylla (anthropomorphic otter). In his 2014 series he has been shown to have a brief relationship with Princess Lynx (alien, cat-girl). In the 2014 ''ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' annual, Rocket is shown to have 3 sons (which he insists are nephews) whose mother is clearly some sort of blue skinned alien.
64	* The comic ''ComicBook/HowardTheDuck'' had Howard (intelligent talking duck from an alternate reality) and Beverly (human). This was played ''way'' too straight in [[Film/HowardTheDuck the movie]].
65	* ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'': The Hulk (gamma-irradiated human) with Jarella (from K'ai) and Caiera (Shadow Person). He had two sons from his relationship with Caiera.
66	* [[ComicBook/SubMariner Namor]] (human/Atlantean hybrid) married GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Marrina, but also found time to pursue the human (and all-too-married) ComicBook/InvisibleWoman.
67	** Namor and that lake-monster queen from Tabula Rasa
68	--->'''Hope''': Ick! Ick! Ick!
69	--->'''Namor''': You are only showing your parochialism and prejudice. She is a dignified queen of a noble people. [[ThirdPersonPerson Namor]] is nothing if not cosmopolitan in his tastes.
70	*** On a more amusing note, he then immediately, and surprisingly gently, turns down Hope's nascent interest, because she's a teenager. Cosmopolitan Namor may be, but EveryoneHasStandards.
71	** Also, there's been flirting and suggestions of future hookups between Namor and Hepzibah (an alien skunk woman. Well originally a skunk woman; a lot of artists these days tend to draw her as a CatGirl or even just a [[HumanAliens palette-swapped human]], but whatever).
72	** Atlanteans in the MU are a branch of the human race, so this would me more like interSUBspecies romance.
73	** Namor, as implied above, is the result of one of these pairings: human father and Atlantean mother. His cousin Namora has a human mother and Atlantean father. As they're effectively the only members of their kind, most any romance they pursue (aside from [[KissingCousins each other]]) qualifies.
74	* ComicBook/{{Nova}} (human) and GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe (literally) ComicBook/{{Gamora}}, in ''ComicBook/{{Annihilation}}''. Before (and after) Gamora, Rider was with Namorita (Atlantian Mutant/Clone). Namorita's metamorphosis into Kymera (much less human looking form, resulting from her ancient Atlantean DNA) didn't ruin this relationship.
75	* Depending on which origin story you actually believe, Rictor (human) and Shatterstar (alien-ish.) are this.
76	* ComicBook/RomSpaceKnight was in love with the Terran Brandy. On the plus side, Rom is a Galadorian, basically a branch of the human race. On the minus side, he'd been cyborged into an all-covering suit of plandanium armor. On the plus side, it was theoretically possible for him to become a normal man again. Still, whether Rom and Brandy count as an interspecies liaison is a judgement call.
77	* Karolina (Majesdanian) and Xavin (Skrull) in ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}''. When Xavin was PutOnABus, Karolina and Julie Power (human) started going out.
78	* ComicBook/ScarletWitch (mutant) was married to the android ComicBook/TheVision for many years. Her brother ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}} married ComicBook/{{the Inhuman\|s}} princess Crystal.
79	** The former might not be an example, since the Vision ''might'' have been designed to be compatible. Is an artificial person of human design a different species? As for Crystal and Pietro, the Inhumans and mutants are two branches of one breed anyway, so that doesn't really fit the trope.
80	** Later, Crystal was remarried to Ronan the Accuser (Kree).
81	* ''ComicBook/SpiderHam'', being set in an AnthropomorphicAnimalAdaptation of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, had several examples of relationships happening between separate species.
82	** Spider-Ham himself is a spider who mutated into the form of an anthropomorphic pig and has pursued relationships with a bat named Batty Brant, a water buffalo named Mary Jane Waterbuffalo, a catfish vigilante known as the Black Catfish, and a crane named Mary Crane Watsow, the last one he even ends up marrying and having a daughter with.
83	** One of the back-up stories in ''Peter Porker: The Spectacular Spider-Ham'' showed this continuities' counterparts of Ant-Man and the Wasp (who were HappilyMarried at the time) as an ant named [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Ant-Ant]] and a rabbit named Waspbunny.
84	** The third issue of ''What The--?!'' had a spoof of ''Kraven's Last Hunt'' where Spider-Ham demanded his own graphic novel, only to be vexed by a story where Mary Jane Waterbuffalo leaves him to get married with Raven the Hunter.
85	* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': Peter Parker is a man who is transformed via a radioactive spider-bite into an enhanced human being and an entirely new kind of species, and Peter exclusively dates human women. Most notably, his relationship with ''ComicBook/MaryJaneWatson'' has led in ''ComicBook/SpiderIsland'' to her acquiring immunity from the virus of the story that gives everyone in New York spider-powers, because as Reed Richards put it, she and Peter had a long sexual relationship that gave her an immunity. Averted in ''ComicBook/SpiderManReign'' an AU story where [[spoiler:MJ dies after contracting STD from Peter's radioactive body fluids.]]
86	* ''ComicBook/WerewolfByNight'''s Jack Russell (a werewolf) has had several long term relationships with human women.
87	* ''ComicBook/XMen'':
88	** ComicBook/ProfessorX and the Shi'ar Empress Lilandra. Made worse by the fact that Lilandra is descended from ''avian'' stock, Charles from primate stock. OTOH, the Celestials might have reengineered both breeds to make them compatible. The Shi'ar seem more primate-like than evolution would plausibly manage... certainly, while they do eventually have a child, it's by genetic engineering and artificial gestation than anything 'natural'.
89	** For a long time, ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} (human mutant) and her husband, ComicBook/{{Longshot}} (interdimensional alien). Since their divorce, Longshot seems to have jumped on the BoldlyComing bandwagon of interdimensional relations.
90	** ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}} (mutant) and Cerise (Shi'ar).
91	** Broo (brood) is in love with Idie (human mutant) and in their first meeting he even proposed to her.
92	** ''ComicBook/AstonishingXMen'': ComicBook/{{Beast\|MarvelComics}}/Brand. Complicated, since he's a human mutant who became more animalistic as he got older and now looks like a giant blue cat, and she looks mostly human and is actually half-alien. Apparently her dad was a huge blue furry thing, which [[DaddysGirl takes it into even more perverted territory]].
93	* One of the most extreme cases in the Marvel Universe was Thena (one of the Eternals) and Kro (one of the Deviants), a true [[StarCrossedLovers Montague and Capulet romance]], seeing as their two races were sworn enemies. He's not the only Deviant she's hooked up with, either.
94	* In ''ComicBook/ZiggyPigSillySealComics'', Silly Seal is married to Roxanne, his sexy supermodel-Nobel Prize-winning LadyInAPowerSuit.
95
96	!!Other
97	* In ''ComicBook/AmericanFlagg'', one of Raul the (talking) Cat's favorite TV programs is titled "Interspecies Romances".
98	* ''ComicBook/{{Animosity}}'':
99	** One of the first demonstrations of animal intelligence on the day of The Wake we see is an orca approaching its trainer during a performance and professing its love to her in front of everyone.
100	** It's hinted that Adam's (Human) loyalty to Wintermute (Wolf) was partially out of genuine romantic love for Wintermute, though Adam feared openly showing any kind of affection to Wintermute such as petting her. Wintermute is shown to reciprocate his love over time, by her [[DyingDeclarationOfLove secret dream/message]] programmed into Adam's cybernetic Animata upgrades where she rips off her own skin to take her possibly ideal humanoid form, and laments that this was the only way for them to share a true 'kiss'. During their final night together before Wintermute was executed, she calls Adam her [[AffectionateNickname 'sweetheart']].
101	* ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' has Rex and Natalie of the First Family. He's a giant orange dinosaur monster with rocky scales and the prince of Monstro City; she's an energy being who internalizes her powers to become a SizeShifter giantess.
102	** There's also Duncan Keller, aka the hero Starfighter, who's married to alien empress Illula. They have two children, a son and daughter.
103	* There's a children's comic called ''Mr. Badger and Mrs. Fox'', it's meant as AnAesop about blended families.
104	* Pretty much the point of the ''Film/{{Barbarella}}'' comic strip and carried over, to a lesser extent, in TheMovie.
105	* ''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'' has John the tortoise and Dookie Bird, who also had a fling with a pelican at one point.
106	** The Anteater also for a while had a female armadillo as a girlfriend.
107	* ''ComicBook/BeneathTheTreesWhereNobodySees'': Cherry, a pig, is married to Howard, an owl.
108	* ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'' has Fone Bone and Thorn; while it's more played as Fone Bone being in love with Thorn, [[WillTheyOrWontThey Thorn never says anything about not being in love with him back]], and [[spoiler: had Fone Bone not decided to go back to Boneville at the end, it is stated that he and Thorn would have ruled the valley as king and queen]].
109	* ''ComicBook/BuckGodotZapGunForHire'' subverts this.
110	** Buck dismisses Louisa, who is human, (albeit of a different sub-species), who has been modified to be irresistible to men as "too skinny". Of course, there's also the small issue that Hoffmanites like Buck, [[{{Heavyworlder}} coming from a high-G world]], tend to find other humans "too fragile". Meanwhile, the above-mentioned Ms. Louisa Dem Five proudly runs a multi-species ''brothel''...
111	** He also, when dropping in on his alien bartender's girlfriend sunbathing in the nude comments that "You aren't compatible with humans! I don't even know which bits I'm supposed to be looking at!" [[spoiler: He then gives her some [[HilarityEnsues very specific compliments]].]]
112	* In ''ComicBook/{{Circles}}'', there are few repeated species. One exception are Doug, his ex-fiancée and their son, who are all Otters.
113	* Crusader Adam of Destine (later simply Adam Destine) and the djinn Elalyth, parents of the Destines in ''ComicBook/ClanDestine''.
114	* The world in the French comic ''ComicBook/DeCapeEtDeCrocs'' mixes up humans and {{Funny Animal}}s, and such romances seem common enough. The two main characters (a wolf and a fox) are in love with human women, while the wolf recounts once how his previous wife was a she-wolf. There is also a dog courting a woman in a flashback story.
115	* ComicBook/DisneyMouseAndDuckComics in general occasionally have mixed-species pairs showing up as background characters in a panel or two.
116	** In the WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck comic "The Old Castle's Secret," the jewel thief Diamond Dick claims that he knew about the hidden [=McDuck=] treasure because his "third wife was a [=McDuck=] on her great grandfather's side." Diamond Dick is a dog. Apparently something... interesting... has been going on in the [=McDuck=] family tree.
117	** Donald Duck's cousins are both the products of mixed marriages. Gladstone is a duck-goose hybrid, and Fethry is half loon on his mother's side.
118	* ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'': I'm gonna have to spoiler this whole thing because it involves a major plot revelation. [[spoiler:In ancient times Timmain (super-advanced humanoid alien in elf form) shapeshifts into a wolf and mates with the alpha male of a wild pack. result: Timmorn Yellow-Eyes, half-elf, half-wolf and father of the Wolfrider tribe. Many generations later the pure-blooded elf Winnowill views the Wolfriders' origins with disdain, asking the pertinent question: "Do they renew their kinship even now?"]]
119	** This disdain is hypocritical since [[spoiler:Winnowill is soon revealed to be the mother of Two-Edge, who is half elf/half troll]].
120	** There are also some attempted human/elf pairings, which generally go badly because the elves' "bloodfire" is too intense for humans, although centuries after the main storyline the shapeshifting elf Jink enjoys a number of successful partnerships with humans of both sexes. Since she does seem to have a weakness primarily for telepaths, it may be that the elf/human compatibility issue involves a psychic element...that, or she just has [[{{Pun}} worked out the kinks]] through experience.
121	* The North Wind and [[spoiler: Bigby's mother Winter]] from ''ComicBook/{{Fables}}''. [[TheBigBadWolf Bigby]] and Literature/Snow White.
122	** Bufkin and Lily Martagon are a unique example. He's a flying monkey and she's a tiny fairy-like Barleycorn Girl. She considered herself his girlfriend, but he didn't reciprocate any romantic feelings due to the species and size barriers. However, [[spoiler: in the epilogue of their story, it's revealed that on several occasions throughout their many adventures in Oz, one or both of them were magically transformed into compatible species. During these times, they got married and had many children. At the end of their lives, they were still living together and in a very loving relationship despite being in their original forms]].
123	* ''ComicBook/FinePrint'': Cubi and Cupids are shown in relationships. Meanwhile, Cubi commonly offer to give humans the best sex of their lives, and one is shown doing so.
124	* ''ComicBook/{{Firebreather}}'' stars the son of a human woman and a CaptainErsatz version of Creator/MarvelComics villain Fin Fang Foom who fell in love during one of his rampages. The original intention was for him to be a ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' character whose father ''was'' Fin Fang Foom, but instead the creator went to Creator/ImageComics with the character.
125	* ''ComicBook/TheGirlFromTheSea'': Morgan, a human girl, gets into a romance with female selkie Keplie (though she does take human form for most of it).
126	* ComicBook/LesLegendaires has [[TheLancer Gryf]], a [[BeastMan Jaguarian]], being part of a LoveTriangle with [[ActionGirl Shimy]], an [[OurElvesAreDifferent Elf]] with ElementalPowers, and [[SixthRanger Shun-Day]], an [[OurDemonsAreDifferent artificially magically engeneered being created from the arm of a demonical]] EvilSorcerer. It also has [[EvilTwin Dark Jadina]], an evil clone of one of the protagonist, being the DarkMistress of [[GreaterScopeVillain Anathos]], a GodOfEvil;
127	** The concept is actually lampshaded in-universe when Shimy asks her mother, Captain Shamira, how she'd react if she was gonna marry a human. Shamira expresses discomfort with the idea, merely answering her daughter to shut up. [[spoiler:Ironically, [[HypocriticalHumor Shamira later has herself a relationship with human king Halan]].]]
128	* ''ComicBook/LobsterRandom'': Lobster is a mechanophile, a (modified, in his case) human who is sexually attracted to robots. Not human-looking robots, either...
129	* In ''ComicBook/{{Monstress}}'', Arcanics can trace their existence to relationships between humans and Ancients that are basically impossible today due to all the FantasticRacism between the races. [[spoiler: It also turns out the Shaman-Empress controlled Zinn not because she had the techno-magical might to order [[EldritchAbomination Monstra]] around, but because they were lovers... at least, that’s how Zinn remembers it.]]
130	* ''ComicBook/{{Pathfinder\|DynamiteComics}}'': The OfficialCouple of the main series consists of Kyra, a human cleric of Sarenrae, and Merisiel, an elf rogue. The two admit their feelings to each other at the end of Issue 9.
131	* ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'':
132	** While they used to be human and became undead being in the afterlife, the main protagonist Requiem is a vampire while his girlfriend Rebecca is a ghost, and a [[CuteGhostGirl sexy one at that rather than being scary]].
133	** Black Sabbat (Vampire) and Aiwass ([[OurDemonsAreDifferent Lord of Chaos]]) are an [[UnholyMatrimony evil example]] of this trope.
134	* In ''ComicBook/{{Saga}}'', Alana is a woman from the planet Landfall and has insect-like wings on her shoulders. Marko, her husband is a man from Wreath and has ram-like horns protruding from his head. The Will looks like an ordinary human while his late ex-girlfriend, the Stalk--whose upper-torso resembles that of a blonde, armless and many-eyed woman, has a spider-like body.
135	* All over the freaking place in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics''. And a future arc, "Mobius: 25 Years Later", suggests [[NoBiochemicalBarriers they'll have children]].
136	** It expands to "No Bio''mechanical'' Barriers". The same arc suggests Bunnie, who is ''robotic from the waist down'', will have children, too!
137	*** Actually in certain continuities, Belle and Jacques (Bunnie's kids) could actually be born normally (so to speak) as Bunnie is cured of her robotization...though given that plotline, some fans [[FanonDiscontinuity will likely ignore it]].
138	** It is averted in the case of the Iron King and Iron Queen, a massive ox-man and ordinary human woman respectively, whose "marriage" is purely an arrangement of political convenience; the writer acknowledged that having a human and animal character wed "might raise some eyebrows".
139	* ''Franchise/StarWars'': The EU comics have their fair share of InterspeciesRomance.
140	** The downsides to be explored a bit more in others. For instance, one story features a Gotal who enjoys sleeping with members of other species. Or he did, until he slept with a female from a species that eats the male alive after sex.
141	** It's taken for granted in the setting that Twi'lek women are desired by males of all species -- often due to their "naughty" ''lekku'' head-tails, which can be trained to perform sensual functions.
142	** One of the comics set during the prequels had a fair bit of ShipTease between the Kit Fisto the Nautoloan, a grey-skinned aquatic humanoid, and Ayla Secura, a blue-skinned Twi'lek. One thing they do have in common is that both their species have tentacle-like growths on their heads.
143	** ''ComicBook/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'': Zayne Carrick (human) and Zareal (Arkanian off-shoot), and Lucien Dray (Human) and Q'Anila (Miraluka). Downplayed in both cases due to Arkanians and Miraluka being HumanAliens.
144	** ''ComicBook/StarWarsDoctorAphra'': Two semi-recurring characters, Winloss and Nokk, are a married pair of exotic animal hunters. Winloss, the husband, is human; his wife Nokk is a Trandoshan, a reptilian humanoid. Trandoshans, notably, entirely avert tropes such as NonMammalianMammaries -- there's nothing beyond her say-so to inform human characters of Nokk's gender.
145	** ''ComicBook/StarWarsInvasion'': It's revealed in the second arc that while King Caled Galfridian is human, [[spoiler:his wife Nina is a disguised Yuuzhan Vong]]. This comes as a considerable surprise to most other characters, but it's strongly implied that Caled had figured it out some time before and loved her anyway.
146	** ''ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy'': The main character Cade Skywalker (a human) is romantically involved with Deliah Blue (a Zeltron, a species of red-skinned HumanAliens).
