Background notes: The stories about the Cobweb and her chauffeur Clarice ran in the anthology series Alan Moore's Tomorrow Stories as one of four series paying homage to classical comics. This particular series was a nod to the Golden Age heroines running around in thin dresses and high heels like the Blonde Phantom from Marvel and Phantom Lady from Quality Comics/DC Comics. The Golden Age heroines were very innocent in regards to sexual references and the stories were based on action. Tomorrow Stories however was made for an older audience and in the modern times. The series relied heavily on sex, both explicit and implicit, without ever actually showing anything that would make it a mature title.
