This 280-page collection features iconic figures like Nasty Elaine, Mara, Mistress of the Void, Sangrella, and the ultimate independent woman, Big Bitch. These stories, originally published in Zap, Weirdo, Thrasher Comics, and other outlets, highlight Spain’s ability to blend raw power with sensuality, challenging traditional gender roles.
