Shanda the Panda #18
In "Rocket Horror Picture Show," Shanda the Panda finds herself drawn into a surreal midnight cinema experience as the theater screens the bizarre cult film of the same name. Intercut with the movie’s eerie, surreal scenes—featuring human versions of classic Rocky and Bullwinkle characters like Natasha, Boris, and Sherman—the story blurs the line between fiction and reality in a way that’s both unsettling and strangely familiar. Written by Mike Curtis and brought to life with sharp, expressive art by Carla Speed McNeil (who also handled the cover pencils and inks), this 1997 issue offers a uniquely strange take on nostalgia and horror, all wrapped in a cover that’s as bold as the story inside.
