In one episode, Alack Sinner meets Sophie, a Polish anarchist, who in her own stories gets caught up in a revolution in Mexico. The lives of the people who frequent Sinner's favorite watering hole, Joe's Bar, fill another series of short stories. Two of these have been translated in Raw 3 and 6. Four others are published in this volume" -- Page [8].

There's a profound sadness and tenderness in these stories of a haunting kind never seen in comics before.
