COVER BY GREG HORN GREG RUCKA (W)/IGOR KORDEY (P & I) ? THE SCOOP: Master crime writer Greg Rucka and CABLE's Igor Kordey present a gritty, uncompromising tale of Russian international espionage agent Yelena Belova ? the new Black Widow! ? THE STORY: When her former mentor is found brutally murdered in a Moscow bondage club, Belova must go deep undercover to find the killer. Torn by self-doubt and divided loyalties, she descends into a world of deadly games and deadlier predators! With sensual covers by Greg Horn (ELEKTRA), BLACK WIDOW: PALE LITTLE SPIDER is a smart and sexy adventure that could only be told under the freedom of the MAX imprint! ? GREG RUCKA SPEAKS: "Yelena has pretty much been dominated ever since she began her training to be the Black Widow. That's the nature of that sort of training: 'You will learn these things, you will go this way ? you did it well, you will be rewarded. You did it bad, you will be punished.' Now, she's in the bondage scene where all of her skills are applicable, but not readily so.You can't walk into a bondage club, grab somebody around the throat, throw them to the floor and say, 'Tell me what I want to know!' and expect them to cough it up. If they don't what are you going to do? What if they don't tell you just so you do hit them again, but harder, because they're getting turned on? When that does happen, Yelena is going to give an 'Ewww!' that will be a combination of her being repulsed and perhaps a little turned on herself." ? THE FORMAT: Each issue of this three-issue, monthly series is 32 pages, with ads. 7-59606-05152-6-00111 2.99 Cover price $2.99.
