King Tractor's Alecto Songbook

King Tractor Press has a preview up of their latest comic, Alecto Songbook:

Alecto is one of the furies from Greek mythology. Along with her sisters, Tisiphone and Megaera she kills the mortals that Zeus singles out for divine punishment. She is ruthless and implacable. With the advent of Christianity however, the Christian God sends his black angels to wipe out the Greek gods and in a surprise attack on Mount Olympus and Hades everyone is murdered except Alecto. Alecto spends the next two thousand years fleeing from the black angels who will not be satisfied until she is dead. She disguises herself as a mortal and keeps her winged claws strapped down in a tight corset that gives her constant pain.

You can check out pages from the book at their website.

Judging from what's available on the website, I'm almost fascinated at the amount of effort that has gone into producing something so amateur.

It is crap on so many levels, from the somewhat underexplained setup where Christ's crucifiction prompts the christian god to make war on the greek gods in order to set up a kind of mythological "Fugitive" deal, to art consisting entirely of grey tone without any spot blacks except on the captions, to our heroine wearing a corset (looks like bandaging to me) so tight it can restrain large batwings (muscle and bone) but fails to at all flatten her breasts (fat).
