Steve Lafler collects a pair of graphic novellas in Cat Suit, tracking edgy romances-we get hot cars, cute dresses, and snappy reparté. Lafler throws in his signature deconstruction of time and space, a peak under the hood of reality as we know it. Oh-and of course a cameo by the Devil himself.
Cat Suit
What kind of whack job would put on a mask and a skin-tight suit and head out into the city after midnight? I mean, what is our man "Steve" really up to? What pathology, what proclivity are we dealing with here? Is he fighting crime? Hell no, he's just going clubbing-and he's frankly perplexed when the bar flies & drunks want to pick a fight with him.
El Diablito
Call him what you like: Beezlebub, Old Scratch, Satan, Lucifer, Mephistopheles, el Diablo... it's the same guy and he likes to mess with you, right? Or maybe he's just misunderstood? Could it be he knows something they're trying to hide from you, some important bit of knowledge and know-how?
El Vocho
The action starts with a fender bender between Rosa's classic '63 Impala low rider, and Eddie's beat up vintage VW Bug. BAM-it's the spark for an unlikely urban romance.
Can laconic Eddie, the bohemian artist, endure the good-natured jabs from Rosa, the brilliant Latina hottie mechanic/inventor?
Can they even survive when big oil sends out mobsters in pursuit of Rosa and her clean energy designs?
