From the editor:

It's hard to realise that almost a year has gone by since CATCH THE WILD WIND came out - and my apologies to those of you who have written to ask just when I was ever producing another zine. It's been a busy time, is all I can say! But here it is, and in all humility I hope there will be those among you who think it was worth the wait! My heartfelt thanks this time must go to Rosemarie Hauer for granting me permission to use her stunning artwork for the cover. Does this lady have talent or what! Over the course of recent correspondence I have been deeply honoured to be the recipient of many of Rosemarie's drawings and I am therefore particularly grateful to be now able to publicly acknowledge what a contribution she has made to the pool of talent which "Beauty and the Beast" has engendered. My thanks to her and to you all. Be well.

Reactions and Reviews

This superb, wholly original Classic story is set following "Nor Iron Bars a Cage" and in the aftermath of "No Way Down." In it, a seldom-seen gangland boss wants to find out who single-handedly wiped out the Silks. Through Cal, a brutal expatriate Irish terrorist, this gangster starts putting pressure on Lucy (of "No Way Down") to reveal the identity of the man she helped. Meanwhile C gropes toward forming a conscious full commitment to her relationship with V the conflicts of the ethical issue of prosecuting a man who avenged his wife's brutal rape...with murder, as V has so often defended her. V is trying to come to terms with his traumatic experiences above in those two named episodes: with having been regarded as an animal, chained and caged, and with the promptings of a resurgent Other (dark Vincent) roused by these experiences. The connection between C, V, and Lucy develops into an exciting tale with thoughtful consideration of moral issues. Fine storytelling throughout, with excellent imagination and characterization. You won't find better anywhere. [1]
