S.O.S. #12
"Venus de Leo" delivers a striking, surreal twist on biblical imagery in this 1975 issue from Editorial Valenciana. With moody, dramatic art by Alfonso Figueras and S.I. Artists, and a cover by Boada, the story presents a haunting scene where an angelic figure brandishes a flaming sword—only for a man to casually use it to light a cigarette. The quiet absurdity of the moment lingers, grounded in the stark contrast between divine menace and mundane rebellion.
In a stark, biblical-inspired moment, an angel wields a flaming sword against a man and a woman, both naked and exposed. The man, unfazed by the divine threat, casually uses the blade’s fire to light a cigarette.
