Publisher's Synopsis

Katherine is a girl, born at the beginning of the 20th century. One day the mysterious Charles Varnay, an eccentric who dresses in the style of an 18th century dandy, comes to town. His sole companion is a remarkable intelligent dog named Rousseau. Varney wants Katherine to star in a movie serial he wants to make, called The Goddess of Enlightenment. Varnay also claims that his dog, Rousseau, is the product of experiments and he's eager to continue these experiments with human subjects. Katherine realises he's expecting her to be part of this, and it worries her

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
