Comment: Story has a quite odd, primitively simple colors, like comic was made in B&W and (somebody else?) made it in colors. Not Corbenish colors at all. Story is very violent, one of Corben’s darkest, I have to say. There is ugly brutal violence in all frames. It’s so easy to dislike this dark story. There is lots of beautiful face close-ups on every page. Girl is all the time vulgarly voluptuous. Story has strong intensity on first half (husband molesting wife).
