Ilsa, She Wolf of the Luftwaffe by Richard Bartrop

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 21:00:41 -0000

Maybe it was something about the way she looked. Maybe it was how she knew all the words to "Horst Wessel Lied". Maybe it was the smoking Mauser in her hand as she stood over the body. Whatever it was, I knew this dame was trouble... Nazi test pilot/spy Ilsa Klensch, a character created for Ken Fletcher's Spontoon Island. Finally finished the colour version. I tried to go for a vintage pulp feel on this one.
