This is the conclusion to a three part story that contained heavy Biblical allegories – specifically Mary Magdalene and John the Baptist. There is a scene in this story where the Magdalene analog is very nearly gang raped by a band of bandits, only to be saved by one of the compatriots, a woman. The whole incident sets up one of the running misogynist antagonists of the story.

At any rate, this splash page of the blimp is very nice, with great colors.
