DESERT PEACH Collection Vol. 5: BELIEF SYSTEMS ($7.95) by Donna Barr. Bad news sometimes travels with glacial slowness. The news in question concerns Germany's treatment of Jews. Can all the horrible rumors be true? It would be a comfort not to accept the news, especially when the tale-teller is unreliable. The question grows more personal when the Desert Peach discovers that his orderly, Udo, is Jewish. The camp's overzealous would-be Nazi, Lieutenant Winzig, also finds out, placing Udo, his family, and the entire camp in danger, until devil-may-care Kavalier takes his own approach to keeping the wayward Winzig in line. Reprints #13-15 of the DESERT PEACH comics. Introduction by Roberta Gregory.
