Reactions and Reviews
Vincent gets shot by fanatics who are obsessed with the idea of ridding the city of all evil. With his last strength he stumbles into the basement of Catherine's apartment building. Catherine finds him and nurses him back to health. A deep friendship develops between them and they both struggle to keep it that way, although their feelings for each other gradually begin to shift and change. A large section of the story takes place at Catherine’s cabin in Connecticut. Vincent leaves the city, because the men who shot him are after him and he doesn’t want to endanger the community below. In the woods he experiences a freedom unlike any he has ever known and he develops a new sense of self. An incident at the cabin shakes Vincent’s new-found balance and brings about a change in his relationship with Catherine. The story is about friendship, commitment, and love—about facing darkness and fears—and about the colors of the rainbow contained in a clear crystal although it grows in the deepest reaches of the earth where daylight never comes. In other words, the zine posits a different beginning for Vincent and Catherine. In it they become lovers with relatively little conflict. In it they become lovers with relatively little conflict. Despite unconvincing villains and some pretty iffy plot turns, the zine presents vivid, quiet exchanges of tenderness and romance. There are passages of quite graphic sex. Those who have enjoyed Hauer’s other zines (some of which have won fanzine awards) will presumably like this one a good deal, as well. As always, the art is marvelous, and the writing is literate.[1]
