About the series
Velvet Templeton, the unassuming secretary to the director of a Cold War-era espionage agency, reveals herself to be a highly skilled former field agent after being framed for murder. This sleek, 15-issue spy thriller from Image Comics, written by Ed Brubaker with art by Steve Epting, channels the paranoid, stylish energy of 1970s cinema. It matters as a taut, character-driven reinvention of the superspy genre, anchored by a mature, capable heroine navigating a world of double-crosses and buried secrets.
