Fear-filled Phantasms by Richard Sala

This week's exhibit of Richard Sala art is titled The Perils of Peculia. It features portraits of Sala's reluctant heroine, Peculia, who keeps finding herself in the middle of fights with mad scientists and monsters when all she ever wants is quiet walks and uneventful trips to the park or the store. 

Peculia appeared in a series of short stories in The Evil Eye anthology title from Fantagraphics during the 1990s. Her adventures have been collected in "Peculia" and "Peculia and the Groon Grove Vampires". Click on the links to read reviews of those books at our sister blog, Shades of Gray.
