Fantagraphics

Concluding the two-part “Desalde” that began last issue. Fritz—in one of her B-movie classics, the first in the fabled Black Cat Moon trilogy—stars as the titular heroine, a sympathetic peasant girl who serves as caregiver and sexual partner to the King. But once she allows the only boy who has ever been nice to her take the rap for murder, Desalde appears to be up to far more than anyone in the kingdom bargained for. Just who is getting screwed here? It’s an adults-only finale to die for—or is that to die from? Plus: The Earthians! A Love and Rockets spinoff comic.
