# Hypnotwist / Scarlet by Starlight - Hardcover

by **Gilbert Hernandez** (Author)

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 Includes 15 pages of previously unpublished, additional material.
