Anne Steelyard: The Garden of Emptiness #1
Anne Steelyard strides front and center on Glen Orbik's painted cover — revolver raised, expression cool and unflappable — while a swirl of desert intrigue unfolds behind her: armed soldiers, a mysterious robed figure in a fez, a blond companion, and a looming creature silhouetted against a fiery sky. Writer Barbara Hambly brings her storytelling craft to this 2008 Penny-Farthing Press series, with interior art from Claude St. Aubin, Ron Randall, and Alex Kosakowski promising richly rendered adventure. "Act I: An Honorary Man" sets the stage for what looks to be a pulp-flavored, globe-trotting story with a heroine more than capable of holding her own in dangerous company.
