Lady Rawhide returns in an all-new adventure! This time, she faces not only the corrupt forces of the government -- bent on cowing the populace through privation and cruelty -- but also a new team of vigilantes: The Sisters of the White Rose. The Sisters, inspired by Lady Rawhide\'s actions, have taken up the struggle against tyranny. Although she supports the Sisters\' aims, Lady Rawhide is forced to stand against their bloody methods.
