Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples' comic book Saga has gone all out for issue sixty-nine as part of Image Comics's September 2024 solicits.



Article Summary

  • Brian K Vaughan & Fiona Staples make Saga #69 the 'Sex Issue'.
  • Explicit "Old allies explore new positions" theme for September 25 release.
  • Image Comics' September 2024 solicits feature the revealing issue cover.
  • Saga, an epic tale planned for 108 issues, combines star-crossed love with galactic war.

One might ask which issue of Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples' comic book Saga is not a sex issue? But with Saga #69, they have gone all out with this cover, as part of Image Comics's September 2024 solicits and solicitations. I am reminded of when I was a radio advertising copywriter, writing for Lisa Tarbuck's dulcet tones for Clorox, a car cleaning equipment company, that included an inordinate number of gearsticks being rubbed. It was rejected by the official clearance, the RACC, with a note from one Al Damon stating "Richard, in order for this to be a double entendre, it must have more than one meaning." And I get that feeling looking at the solicitation for Saga #69 which reads "Old allies explore new positions" and will be published on the 25th of September.

It comes as Tini Howard's run on Catwoman stops at #68 in September and I get the feeling that DC Comics missed a trick there. Well, where DC fails to tread, Saga jumps in with massive hobnail boots, before removing them to slip under silk sheets.

Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, published by Image Comics in 2012 depicts a husband and wife, Alana and Marko, from long-warring extraterrestrial races, fleeing authorities from both sides of a galactic war as they struggle to care for their daughter, Hazel, born in the first issue and who occasionally narrates the series as an unseen adult. Described as Romeo and Juliet with the house of Star Wars versus the house of Game of Thrones and is currently planned to last 108 issues.
