Additional text
"Image's powerful series Redlands highlights
the link between womanhood and witchcraft, showing the misogyny behind the
mythology... In a disturbing, beautiful way, co-creators Jordie Bellaire and
Vanesa Del Rey's Redlands out today from Image revels in the idea that
magic is born from unholy contracts between the devil and clever women."
