Tura Santana
by Pat Redding Scanlon
8.5x11 Colored Pencil on Paper

Nix Comics has many artistic heroes, some obvious and some not. Pat Redding Scanlon was commissioned to create portraits of some of those heroes!
 
Tura was a no brainer to stick on the list of suggested heroes for Pat to pick from. Tura's movies "Faster Pussycat Kill! Kill! Kill!" and "The Astro-Zombies" are big influences on Nix Comics, and those movies were absolutely made by Santana's  performances!  Somewhat obviously, the character of "Ana Tatsura" in Nix Comics is a riff on the iconic image that Tura created for herself.
 
And hey... Be sure to pair your purchase with a copy of "Undead Ballads" to get the full Pat-Effect!
