Sachs & Violens

(Epic, 1993-1994)
™ and ©1993 Peter David and George Perez

Juanita Jean Sachs (“J.J.” to her friends) is a fiery Latina who makes her living as a model for adult magazines. Ernie “Violens” Schultz is her photographer, a former photojournalist from the jungle wars. Ernie shares a grandfatherly friendship for J.J., as well as secretly bearing a boyish crush for her.

J.J.’s friend Wendy was also involved in the porno industry and thought she was onto a promising job in a softcore movie. Instead, she became the victim of a “snuff film”—a porno movie where people are actually killed at the end. The mooks responsible for dumping her body got involved in an auto accident, exposing Wendy’s mutilated body and pictures of the slaying. The police seemed unable to come up with leads, so J.J. decided to investigate using her own unique industry connections. Ernie, like an aging Rambo, felt he had no choice but to aid her using his cache of heavy weaponry (that he kept for just such emergencies!).
