A new, weird tale has come upon us, thanks to the talented artist/writer Jesse Lalochezia Gutierrez. This particular Bandido Studios Comics & Art submission overflows with spine-tingling scares, hip heroics and child-charged cheer.
The ten-page, booklet is entitled The Flying Witch of Tres Rios and acts as a chapter in "The Case Files of Professor Nostrodamus". It's impossible not to be enthralled by what unfolds. I suppose that only goes to reason, considering Gutierrez's history of matching ideal imagery with snappy storytelling...
In Flying Witch, three youngsters come upon the eponymous creature when they discover her detached feet. (These particular entities abandon their feet whenever they ascend to dispatch their curses upon humankind.) To stop her spread of misfortune, they recruit a mighty, masked hero named El Tigre, who's eager to squash the shapeshifter and her spellcasting ways.

The witch is creepy to an unnerving tee, but the gutsy trio heightens the fun in a humble yet realistic way, which would make Flying Witch identifiable to any youngster who'd happily read any EC entry given the chance.
There's also Gutierrez's atmospheric backdrop, which grazes the playful joys of summer and autumn rolled into one. In this manner, Flying Witch touches the poetic terrains of Ray Bradbury, Mark Twain, Stephen King, Tom Tryon and old-school Steven Spielberg, as well as those magnificent, matinee features where lively luchadores always saved the day.
There's no doubt that Gutierrez's story has just the right, spirited sweep to become a classic of the indie-comic domain.
