Rip Off Comix #18
"Sisterhood" is a standout entry in Rip Off Comix #18, a 1988 release from Rip Off Press that features a bold, self-contained story written and illustrated entirely by Frank Stack—showcasing his distinctive voice and sharp, satirical edge. The issue presents a surreal, feminist reimagining of the Achilles and Hippolyta myth, where power dynamics shift in unexpected ways during a tense standoff, culminating in a surprising truce brokered by the Greeks and the Amazons. The cover, by Gilbert Shelton, captures the story’s defiant, irreverent spirit with its bold, expressive style.
