'Lady Danger, Come Out To Die!' – Preview 6 Pages Of Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out #6 From Dark Horse
Grindhouse: Drive In, Bleed Out has been keeping up immersed in exploitation themes and endearingly bizarrely exaggerated visual elements this year, and now we're ready for the conclusion of "Lady Danger, Agent of B.O.O.T.I." What's significant to me, actually, is how much I care about this character even as she moves in a carnivalesque and often grotesque world.
When I caught up with author Alex de Campi at Special Edition: NYC she spoke about how there'd just been nothing to watch on TV, nothing featuring female heroes, growing up and discovering grindhouse tradition was just a whole other world where women could potentially kick ass and certainly be more fully realized characters for her. On June 24th, we'll see the conclusion of the two part series featuring Lady Danger, written by de Campi, with artwork by Mulele Jarvis and cover art by Afua Richardson.
I'm really digging this cover art:
Dark Horse describe this issue thus:
Grindhouse is back in blaxploitation! On orders from the Bureau of Organized Terrorism Intervention (B.O.O.T.I.), superfly superspy Lady Danger came to make trouble in a CIA-backed Chinese general turned drug lord's neighborhood. Now it's his turn to make trouble in hers-with lots of guns and ninjas! And bimbos, also!
And here's our rather lavish 6 page preview of this issue:
