Three Fritz B-movies: one is entirely new, while two of the tales are
expanded from their original appearances in the ongoing Love and
Rockets comic book series. The titular story, "Proof That the Devil
Loves You," is a fable about a free spirit, Bula, played by Fritz.
Something strange is going on in a town very reminiscent of Palomar.
Gisel and Kiki are determined to understand why the hamlet's residents
are acting so foolishly -- is it something in the air? And why can't
Gisel leave? But when there's a violent turn, evidence points toward the
supernatural. Then, Fritz plays the role of an "astronette" on an
existential journey through space.
Proof That the Devil Loves You is the latest in a series of graphic
novels featuring Gilbert Hernandez's character Fritz, a B-movie actress
(and half-sister to his iconic Love and Rockets character, Luba) whose
hourglass figure has earned her a cult following. While Gilbert often
explores Fritz's troubled life off-screen in Love and Rockets, for
years he has also been "adapting" her exploitation films in various
forms, including a series of standalone graphic novels that include
Chance in Hell, The Troublemakers, Garden of the Flesh, Maria
M., and Hypnotwist/Scarlet By Starlight.
