Fatale

Summary

“Fatale” is a noir-inspired supernatural thriller that blends classic crime fiction with cosmic horror. The story follows Josephine, a mysterious woman who has not aged since the 1930s and whose beauty ensnares those around her. Men become obsessed, often to their doom, while Josephine remains both victim and survivor of forces beyond her control. She is pursued across decades by cultists who worship dark gods and view her as their chosen figure, drawing her into a cycle of violence, corruption, and despair. The comic captures the mood of hardboiled noir—smoky bars, corrupt cops, and doomed love affairs—while layering in the dread of Lovecraftian horror. Josephine herself embodies the femme fatale archetype, but the story subverts the trope by showing the burden of her cursed life. Each arc shifts between different eras, from wartime intrigue to modern crime, giving the series a timeless, haunting quality. Themes of obsession, fate, and the cost of survival run throughout, painting a world where desire is a weapon and the supernatural lurks beneath every shadow.
