Fantastic Femmes--Ciara

Ciara Princess Harris has done quite a number of things in her relatively-short life...modeling, acting, singing, writing, producing, even video directing.
Now, she's taking a crack at portraying a super-heroine on the concept album Fantasy Ride, which comes out this Tuesday, as well as tie-in videos and a live concert tour.
It's her first foray into the sci-fi / fantasy genre. Hopefully, it won't be her last.
(BTW: The good-girl comic art is by noted DC / Marvel / Valiant artist Bernard Chang.)

Genre appearances include...
Fantasy Ride (Super C)
