3.0 out of 5 stars
Tantalizing concept, but fairly mundane stories,
By

This review is from: Compliments of the Domino Lady (Paperback)
The Domino Lady is the orphaned daughter of a crusading politician who now uses her skills to expose the corrupt leaders of California. She adopts a sexy alter ego, the Domino Lady, who haunts the mansions of the elite in her tight evening gown. In the manly world of the 30s pulps she was a ground-breaking character who set the template for some of the femme fatales who followed.
But like the Domino Lady herself, the book promises much and delivers little. The stories themselves are fairly mundane capers lacking clever twists or well rounded characters. They're fun; they have a lot of breathless narration and some naïve charm but in the end not all the memorable. The best feature of the book is the modern illustrations provided by Jim Steranko, they are stylish and clever, everything the concept promises and the stories fail to deliver. With this book now out of print prices can vary tremendously. I would not pay more than $10-15 for a copy. |
