Of course the stripper got sent to the pleasure domes. And of course she does something drastic. I can’t really blame her. That fifth panel is pretty brutal. There’s a full page sequence later in the story where the ship captain rapes her, which was really not necessary. If these two sequences were not in the story, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. Because of these two pages, I don’t think so.
