And… this concludes our online re-presentation of Femme Noir: “Blonde Justice,” which I like to think of as our non-origin “origin issue.” Next week, we’ll begin serializing the first Femme Noir story to actually see print, an 8-page/8-week tale called “The Dingus,” which originally appeared more than a decade ago in an issue of Femforce, published by our friends at AC Comics.

See you then!

Panel 4. Large panel. Street level. Port Nocturne by night. Femme Noir walks toward the "camera," along the street, past parked cars as wind tosses loose newspapers in the air. A full moon pokes out from behind the clouds. It's the perfect noir street scene.
