Showman Killer 3: The Invisible Woman is the final installment of Alejandro Jodorowsky's 2010-2012 work. Originally published in French, it is available in English for the first time on Titan Comics, which has published some of Jodorowsky's other work. In the previous two volumes, the Showman Killer was conceived of a brutal killer and the daughter of the Omnimonarch. He grows up and becomes an invincible warrior only to find himself unable to kill the son of the OMnimonarch, a baby child who is actually his uncle. They must battle the Superheirophant, a mysterious woman from another realm who has assumed control of the galaxy. Her goal? Kill all humans!
There's so much I love about this comic. It seems to take place millions of years in the future, judging by the curse, "Paleochrist!" and of course the majority of characters being human. The three volumes of Showman Killer are each about 50 or 60 pages long, so each one is much like reading a double- or triple-issue comic. The art is as amazingly good as you'd expect from a Jodorowsky comic, and Nicolas Fructus joins the ranks of Moebius, Manara, Bess, Liu and the rest.
