Eisner Award-winning creator Gilbert Hernandez returns with another
installment in the Fritz B-film series! In the wordless comic / silent
movie Hypnotwist, B-movie actress Fritz plays a character who doesn't
seem to be going anywhere - until she puts on a pair of glittery pumps.
Her wanderings become increasingly surreal as she confronts motherhood,
alcoholism, a sinister smiley face, cruelty, and her worst fate.
Uncensored (and unabridged) for the first time! Scarlet by Starlight is
a story that's Star Trek meets Heart of Darkness. Scientists, or
colonizers, are doing research, surrounded by primitive fauna they
affectionately nickname or treat like pests. Fritz plays Scarlet, a
peaceful, catlike humanoid with a mate and children. When she becomes
infatuated with one of the scientists, the fragile web of relationships
explodes into violence and death, calling into question who the
advanced, civilized creatures really are. Not for the faint of heart!
The two graphic novellas that comprise the book will be published in a
unique dual-sided format with two covers, so each story ends in the
book's middle (with the one you're not reading being upside down). This
very cool, handsome Double Feature package will be an essential item for
Love and Rockets collectors! Includes 15 pages of previously
unpublished, additional material.
