Josie est une jeune femme au foyer d’après guerre. Elle fait du porte-à-porte pour vendre du maquillage, s’occupe des ses jumeaux et du chien, fait la popote pour son mari et doit supporter sa belle-mère. Enfin, quand elle n’est pas en train de tuer des gens de manière excessive…
Basée sur une idée de la dessinatrice Joélle Jones, la série Lady Killer paraitra chez Dark Horse en janvier 2015 avec l’aide du co-scénariste (et fréquent collaborateur de l’artiste) James S. Rich (Madame Frankenstein).
[quote=« James S. Rich »]It’s funny because Laura Allred doesn’t have her own email address, so we have to send her everything through Mike. There was actually a funny story where Laura turned in the first color and everyone’s looking at the color and wondering what happened to the lineart. It was really dark and plugging up, and nobody could figure out what happened. We all wake up one morning and there was this super long email from Mike that said, « Well, Laura’s going to kill me, but I was really fascinated by Joëlle’s textures, so I went in and played with the file. » He messed with all the settings! It was easy to fix, but it was this big mystery.
I thought that was a big compliment for Joëlle, because he wanted to zoom in and check out how she did her inking.[/quote]
