The Minx

(Vertigo, 1998-1999)
™ and ©1998 Peter Milligan and Sean Phillips

Anna Schwartz is living in confusing times. Her boyfriend is pressuring her to have sex, a step for which she’s not at all certain she’s ready. Meanwhile, the world is going insane over the return of “the Monkey God,” a being who is traveling through space, and is due to arrive on Earth in a few weeks. In the meanwhile, people called “message receivers” have been able to sense the Monkey God’s thoughts, and have begun preaching his religion.

As Anna deals with the voices in her head, a hermaphroditic killer is stalking the city, using sex and a scalpel to hunt down the children of the Monkey God…
