No penciling, and no erasing”. The first three issues were released in the magazine Thoughts & Images. The remaining issue were released through Fantagraphics Books, Aeon Press and later self-published. The entire collection of The Desert Peach series can be available on Webtoons. The Desert Peach musical was produced in 1992, and a novel was published in the year 2005.
