I’d just like to take a moment to declare that @letteringbear.bsky.social is a wizard of visual storytelling. His intuitive, immersive approach to the letters makes me feel like I’m reading my own story for the first time.

Orla, looking radiant, reaches out to an off-panel Gwyn, saying, "You're shaking! Are you...? Gwyn? You know I'd never hurt YOU, right? I haven't all this time. I stopped myself. I mean..." The lettering divides across two panels, underlining the rift between the two.

ORLA! #4, from me, @sallycantirino.bsky.social, @dearbhlala.bsky.social, @letteringbear.bsky.social & @madcavestudios.com, is out this week! If you don’t mind SPOILERS for last issue’s shock cliffhanger ending, here’s a preview of the opening pages…
Gwyn Shalloway, dressed in a nurse Halloween costume with a white dress, red boots and fishnets, stands frozen in terror at the doorway of a bedroom filled with gore and body parts, compulsively scratching at his thigh to the point that he's breaking the skin. Inside the room, The Ick transforms from monster back into her human form of Orla Bard. Orla panics, trying to explain that the man she killed was a danger to her. Gwyn snaps out of his trance to say they're going to need to lock the room door, and he'll need dead Doug's jacket. Quisch's agent enters the party, looking for Orla, unaware that she is passing Gwyn, in disguise wearing Doug's coat and cowboy hat and boots. Gwyn goes outside, moves a bin across to under the bedroom window, then climbs up the trellis back to the bedroom window, where he's dragged inside, saying "Fuck Fuck Fuck" the whole way. Gwyn takes off his Doug disguise, then rolls Doug's remains up in the bloodied carpet, remarking it's like a "gory burrito." Orla then helps him carry the carpet over to the window. Gwyn dramatically shouts "GET IN THE TRASH!" as he tosses the carpet out of the window. But it misses the bin, hitting the edge with a "BONK!" then falling onto the ground nearby. Orla and Gwyn frantically clean the bedroom of bloodstains. Quisch's agent reaches the bedroom, but only finds Gwyn there lounging in a seemingly clean room. Orla is in the shower, the blood from her body rinsing off into the drain.

It needs to be said more often that the world is a better, more beautiful and more enriching place BECAUSE trans people are a part of it.

Rick Holester is a misogynist influencer who uses his platform to warp the minds of young men. He makes the world a worse place. Would it really be so bad if someone came along and ate him?

ORLA! #4 is out on 26th November.

Can Orla and Gwyn’s relationship survive the revelation of Orla’s terrible secret?

Orla Bard, looking radiant, is walking outside down a street, wearing a bathrobe and slippers, next to Gwyn, still wearing his sexy nurse Halloween costume, both of them looking anxious and uncomfortable.

Inked, scanned, and uploaded the last pages of Orla! today. It's very bittersweet. Working on Orla! was a bright spot, and getting up everyday and drawing her was an absolute joy. I am gonna miss her immensely.
