Bizarre Comix #9

In 1700s France, on the eve of revolution, the enigmatic Duchess Mercedes wields unseen power from within the Bastille’s walls, while the defiant Baroness Lorraine leads a dangerous underground effort to unseat her. Written and illustrated by Eric Stanton in a striking, period-drenched style, "Duchess of the Bastille!" blends historical intrigue with gothic flair in a story where loyalty is a weapon and justice wears a mask. The cover, also by Stanton, captures the tension with a dramatic, inked portrait of the two women locked in silent confrontation.
