Black God — White GoddessSaladin was growing huge, immensely huge. His shape was filling the entire hall. Then, abruptly, there was a clap of thunder and he was standing on High Table level, his normal, mostly non-glowing self again. A woman appeared beside him. At least it looked to be a woman. Her clothing made it difficult to tell. She was cloaked from head to foot in a boxy, snow white burqa, a deliberately all-concealing costume usually only seen in the most fundamentalist areas of the Muslim world beyond the Cathonic Dome. Even her eyes were veiled. Murray squirmed nervously. Sundown tightened his grip. The chanting began: “HAIL, SALADIN! HAIL, MASTER! ALL HAIL!” Saladin reached his arm upwards. The sword, the shield, the chain of crimson stones, with its triangular medallion so reminiscent of the pyramidal eye on the back of the American dollar bill, lifted off him. As they vanished as if into the night’s sky, which could be seen through the hall’s glass dome, Star Sedon looking down, he embraced his escort. In one motion she tore off her unappealing garment and kissed him on the lips. The cheering immediately quelled. Were the people sucking in their collective breath, were they shocked by what they had just seen her do to their reclusive, witch-hating Master, or were they simply stunned by the woman herself? Probably the last. She was undeniably as statuesque as any female pureblood in the Weirdom. A white skull-cap covered all of her hair. Two rabbit ears of cloth stretched out of her just-below-knee-length skirt, hid her breasts, and were tied around the back of her neck. That was it, no shoes, leggings, jewellery, makeup, nor any other ornamentation. She was the perfect compliment to the Master. If he was the black god, she was the white goddess. The black god’s white goddess was Wilderwitch. -- from |
Page and Panel BackgroundsThe blue and yellow background images found on this page are variations of the front cover for It was followed a year later with, you guessed it, PRV2:CC went one full issue later (pH-6) than PRv1:DB. It also included, for the first time ever in print, part of the never-finished finale to the first four storylines presented during what was only supposed to be the first phase of the Phantacea comic book series. The credits are listed in the right of this panel. Both the red and pink background images on this page are variations of 'Rendering Reddening', a collage prepared out of some of the Vetala artwork Verne Andru has done over the years for phantacea; an enlargement of original can be found here; Verne also provided the bulk of the artwork for PRV2:CC. Notes for some of the other background collages found on this page be found (and seen) here, here and here; as for why Durer's 4 Horsemen are reminiscent of Thrygragos Lazareme and his firstborn Unities, that's here - Double-click to enlarge - |
