Summary

The third in Gilbert Hernandez#x19;s line of original hardcovers featuring Loveand Rockets#x19; #x1C;Fritz#x1D; in her guise as a Z-movie actress (the first two were Chance inHell and The Troublemakers) is a trippy thriller that stars Fritz in no fewer thanthree roles. A beautiful waitress (Fritz, of course) and her hospital nurse brother (alsoFritz) visit their estranged father, a once successful but now retired writer (amazinglyenough, also Fritz), in order to find out the true reason why their mothercommitted suicide. When dad#x19;s health fails, the siblings are then more concernedwith the money he might leave them. The story weaves in and out of reality and hallucination and possibly backin forth in time, and to complicate things further, the sister is sexually obsessedwith a mysterious man throughout the tale - or is it her brother (at one pointposing as his sister so that he might gain his and her inheritance) that is so hotand bothered by this mystery stud? And that#x19;s only the tip of the iceberg. There#x19;s also a venture into ghost territory, withfrauds bilking the gullible and Fritz#x19;s character(s) right in the middle.
