The Image Series CASANOVA was another one of those graphic novels that my buddy Gerg turned me onto- The eclectic Strip by Matt Fraction and Gabriel Ba featured espionage and adventure drenched in that quasi-mod style of the late sixites a la Jim Steranko, and introduced me to another gorgeous babe in the shape of Zephyr Quinn!
Zephyr “Zeph” Quinn is a hard character to pin down…on one hand she’s the smart and level headed twin sister of Casanova, the hero of the strip…and on the other hand, she’s a double agent, working secretly against her family’s organization.
Then there’s her unbelievable sexiness- running the gamut from sultry , scantily clad and leathered up like a dominatrix, she’s a hive of super-babeness…and yet most of her time is strangely spent seducing Casanova himself!
Ah well, Zephyr’s undeniable great looks kept me glued to the series, a truly worthwhile investment of my time, as she just got sexier and SEXIER with each appearance. Drawn in that arty/fractured Kevin O’Neill (Marshal Law) angular style, Zephyr looks like Gabriel Ba’s version of an abstract Jennifer Connelly, and I don’t have to tell you, that’s a PLUS…
In fact, since the series ended with everyone all hunky-dory*, I don’t think it would be too hard for them to come up with a self-supporting mini series starring Zeph, I, for one, would find it HELLA interesting!
