Romantic Tails Issue Number: 1 Publisher: Head Press Release Date: July 1998 Price: $2.95 'I Fell In Love With A Russian Devil-Woman' Writer: Stuart Taylor -- Pencils: Dave Roberts -- Inks: Mark Woolley Following the events depicted in Octobriana: Filling In The Blanks, Carl Malone finds himself travelling through time and space with Octobriana and her Underground -- a ragtag bunch of freedom fighters, including Tarquin the intellectual talking gorilla with an appalling taste in Haiwain shirts, and Rasputin the alleged 'mad monk' who history blames for the downfall of the Russian royal family. Malone feels that he may have made a mistake by pursuing Octobriana, and finds her brutal, uncompromising nature disturbing and compelling in equal measure. Although it means sacrificing some of his previously held beliefs, Malone embarks on a passionate affair with the Russian Devil-Woman which will eventually end in tragedy. The eight-page strip is just one included within the first issue of Romantic Tails, an anthology title which puts a unique '90s spin on the romance comics of the 1950s. Index
