Trekker by Ron RandallAnd… this concludes our online re-presentation of Femme Noir: “Blonde Justice,” which I like to think of as our non-origin “origin issue.” Next week, we’ll begin serializing the first Femme Noir story to actually see print, an 8-page/8-week tale called “The Dingus,” which originally appeared more than a decade ago in an issue of Femforce, published by our friends at AC Comics.
See you then!
