This
black and white graphic novel is a collection of work in comics previously
published elsewhere. It has some
striking images of the heroine Razmataz in action, especially when they combine
photographs with hand-drawn art. She is
a powerful stripper/heroine fighting crime in a gothic city, with an s/m
underworld, and the book is full of sex and violence. Unfortunately, the quality of most of the artwork is fairly
crude, and the plot is flimsy at best, and the book indulges in the obvious
clichés of mainstream pornography. So
it fails to really examine any interesting features of fantasy, and leaves the
reader wishing that the work had been more carefully thought out and executed.
