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 \u003ci\u003eStar Trek\u003c\/i\u003e meets \u003ci\u003eHeart of Darkness\u003c\/i\u003e. 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! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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 Includes 15 pages of previously unpublished, additional material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGilbert Hernandez\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1957 in Oxnard, California, and is considered one of the greatest living comics writer-artists in the world. In 1982, Hernandez co-created, along with his brothers Mario and Jaime, the ongoing, iconic, internationally acclaimed comic book series \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the greatest bodies of work the medium has ever seen. In addition to his work on \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, its spinoffs, and side series, Hernandez has released a prodigious amount of original graphic novels and miniseries, such as \u003ci\u003eSloth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBumperhead\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMarble Season\u003c\/i\u003e. He also collaborated with Darwyn Cooke on \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Children\u003c\/i\u003e for DC. He was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2017 and is the recipient of a Fellow Award from United States Artists and a PEN Center USA’s Graphic Literature Award for Outstanding Body of Work. Hernandez lives in Ventura, CA, with his wife and daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556357623969,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781683962045","price":32.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781683962045.jpg?v=1781812200","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/hypnotwist-scarlet-by-starlight-hardcover-by-gilbert-hernandez","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
