Comments: The Fox in olden times is just like Robin Hood he steals from the rich and gives to the poor.
Maud is a peasant girl and her papa gives her a wonderful sword of amazing beauty.
Maud journeys to Paris to meet her Grandfather and to find her father’s killer.
Maud’s grandfather wants to make her a lady with an education and then marry her off. Maud though might just have other ideas in her pretty little head.
The moon in one panel is illustrated so beautifully, it appears to be glowing. The castle shown is wonderfully illustrated it does give you a feel for the times.
Maud is a wonderful character if not so this story would be dragging on. Finally, though she takes up the role in Paris of Scarlet. A female version of the Fox.
In chapter two her name changes to Scarlet Rose with no reason given. She is drawn in a lovely costume for her outings as Scarlet Rose. She is drawn with a lithe figure.
The Scarlet Rose finally meets the Fox again. The meeting is rough. Things definitely do not go Maud’s way.
The ending here which is really a begging is amazingly done. You know it’s coming but still, you are thrilled to see it happen.
The Scarlet Rose and the Fox are thrilling new adventures that will thrill and delight readers.

Comments: A man and a woman are shown and there is something wrong with her. The setting is an old style one of gears and cogs that is so beautifully illustrated. Who are the couple though? Why are they there?
Maud aka The Scarlet Rose and Guilhem aka The Fox are a beautiful couple. When Maud meets some old friends of Guilhem's she is jealous not realizing they are jealous of her.
Linus Grimaldi is a handsome man one any woman would want. He picks Maud to dance with. Linus and Natalia Kourouskova are two people out to cause trouble for our couple. They are both scheming for their own purposes and both are very manipulative.
Just when you think Natalia is gone she slips back in. This girl just does not give up. Can Guilhem and Maud's love survive her? Maud does pursue her finance when he runs off with a blonde girl.
Maud is relentless as she goes after her finance. Meanwhile Natalia and Linus do all they can to separate the two.
The more you see of Maud and Guilhem the more you know they are fated to be together.
This issue ends on a cliffhanger. How will the romance between Maud and Guilhem play out.
