Spicy City
Created by Ralph Bakshi
A stylish neo-noir anthology of six standalone stories set in a cyberpunk future, anchored by a nightclub hostess narrator and unified by themes of loneliness, desire, and moral ambiguity.
In a neo-noir future, nightclub hostess and classy femme fatale Raven presents various stories that either involve some of her guests or even herself. Some are sleazy, some violent, some about love, and some about loneliness, some darkly humorous, and some bittersweet and tragic, some are gritty cyberpunk thrillers and some are more fantastical and lighthearted, but they are all spicy and original.
