Description
Rory and Franny go on their first date, but shortly after Rory is ambushed in an alley by the Straight Satans motorcycle gang. After two attacks in as many days, one of them by followers of Charlie Manson, Rory enlists the help of his old friend Mossy, the President of the Mongrels Motorcycle Club. Though this comic series is fiction many of the characters are real, and the story is rooted in historical fact, specifically Charlie Manson's desire to target celebrities for violence and his infamous residence at the Spahn movie ranch. Also, this series takes place during a very specific historical timeline (Saturday, August 2 - Monday, August 11, 1969), and the events are intertwined with the Sharon Tate and LaBianca family murders that took place during those days. It features meticulously research on the Manson murders and the narrative has been developed in a way so that the events in the story could be historically plausible and a resolution is reached without contradicting the historical record.
