I was just at a Steampunk Festival last weekend where a woman was wearing wings quite like that–they were sails (she portrayed the Ocean, and her pet octopus sat on her shoulder). The sails were motorized so that she could put them up or take them down. They wouldn’t fold up enough to be hidden by a poncho, though.
Very Steam-Punk [Batty]Demonic!, and the Configuration is interesting. Are actual Demons, fallen Cherubim? [She has wings on her butt.] NICE art, as always. 8D
Heh, not sure if it was on purpose…but nice spaghetti western reference there. “Angel Eyes” indeed. As my hero Tuco would say “ptuie, something has gone wrong with angel eyes”
I love the skulls on her revealed cowl. Also, as she’s a dead husk, perhaps she’s lost enough water weight to make the wings work. Keith is right about “Angel Eyes”. Creepy reference. Finally, I just now began to wonder if John Henry Hunter hopes she will kill herself … perhaps just her daemoniac self?
Given the Cultural context, wouldn’t that shawl have a festive connotation? The Mexican Day of the Dead is a Celebration. “Angel Eyes” was “The Good” as I recall.
The Man with no Name, designated “the Good” during titles/credits, known to his partner as “Blondie / il Biondo.” “Joe” to the barkeep in Fistful of Dollars and “Manco” in For a Few Dollars More (assuming the Trilogy depicts the same individual).
Also, Miss Vayne Black has been “Angel Eyes” since Lookback (ch 1) page 23. Thank you Erin, for the wonderful stories of the NTO mythos (Intermissions, Poor Wayfaring Strangers, et. al.)!
Pyrrhic, you have a damn good memory to reach back all those years ago. Of course I know a lot of info is out there on the net, but maybe you did pull this bit of trivia from your own cranial files. I think it is suppose to be the same person in all three of these Spaghetti Westerns, basically because the poncho follows him throughout the three movies. An impression that was left on Erin, perhaps, which she employed in her creative story. In fact I get the impression the Flint is model after Eastwood. He and the rest of the posse are riding around out there somewhere looking for these two. Wonder if they will ever catch up with them?
Coyote gets pursued by Red Bull.
That’s a most deliciously exquisite morph in the last panel!
“THIS ISN’T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!!!”
Shucks a mighty, the gals got more gadgets then James Bond. She sure can hide a lot under that poncho.

Angel Eyes was The Bad, played by Lee van Cleef
And do you remember what Eastwood’s name was?
