1st printing. Story and art by Gilbert Hernandez. The third in Gilbert Hernandez's line of original hardcovers (Chance in Hell and The Troublemakers) is a trippy thriller. This volume continues the career of B-movie actress Fritz, who first appeared in the Love & Rockets graphic novels. In this "movie", a beautiful waitress and her brother visit their estranged father in order to find out why their mother committed suicide. The story weaves in and out of reality and possibly back in forth in time. To complicate things further, the sister is sexually obsessed with a mysterious man throughout the tale - or is it her brother? And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Hardcover, 5 1/2-in. x 8-in., 120 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $19.99.
