Regarding the Title
From the zine:
Silence... Denial... Say Nothing. A Sicilian word, omerta, was used by its Mafia for the honor code that kept its secrets safe from the outside world. A code so strict that one could be killed for violating it. In various shadings, omerta applies to the stories in this zine as well. It's a major part of the respect for the old ways and personal honor that Sonny Steelgrave holds so dear. And the OCB's version of omerta's silence requires Vinnie Terranova to hide what he is, even from family and friends, when he decided to go undercover.
