FROM ANDROMEDA AND BACK RADIO: SKIES THAT DO NOT FADE

I remember being in Chicago back in the day, listening to an FM rock station. After a bevy of alternative rock, the DJ suddenly put on the Waltz from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake. At the art store where I worked, one of the young hipsters immediately yelled, "Tchaikovsky!" and began conducting with her hands. I'll never forget that moment. We had gone from, say, Throwing Muses to Tchaikovsky, and I remember thinking: How cool was that? Here was music making its own case. It didn't plead. It didn't demand. In its own way, it rocked.

BROKEN SHACKLES: A TERRA FIRMA PREQUEL


You've met Gunz and Lucky.

But you haven't met them before Terra Firma.

Before Edgemont Place. Before Dr. Priss. Before Halloween weekend turned into something neither of them could possibly have imagined, Jennifer "Gunz" Rocker and Samantha "Lucky" Plantagenet were already working the dangerous edges of Los Angeles County — undercover cops, musicians, sisters from another mother, and already the best at what they did.

There are young women disappearing.

Then Sarge gets a tip.

Some of the women may be moved this weekend.

And there's a certain rough tavern deep in Los Angeles County where some very important people are expected to gather.

They need somebody inside.

Fortunately, the Knockoutz have a gig.

BROKEN SHACKLES is coming together — a Terra Firma prequel told as a graphic story. From time to time, we'll open the file here on From Andromeda and Back and reveal another piece of Gunz and Lucky's last major adventure before a seemingly cushy Halloween assignment changed everything.

You know where they ended up.

Now you'll find out how they got there.
