So who, I began to wonder, would this woman be? What would be her motivation? Why would she don a disguise and go off into the shadows of the city and mercilessly hunt down those who did evil? I thought of the last story I had had released by Airship 27. It was a western featuring Wild Bill Hickok and the primary theme of the story was revenge. Revenge always works.

I also thought of World War II and how, with so many young men off fighting and dying in Europe and the Pacific, it often fell to the women left behind to fill the factory jobs and other jobs that had been the domain of men before the war took them away.

So, I decided, our mystery woman would have to step into a role vacated by a man, with revenge or, to phrase it more positively, justice as her guiding motivation. I came up with poor young Alice Carter, widow of a slain young policeman; finding herself suddenly alone and, to make matters worse, without any closure, any understanding of what forces had led to her husband being taken away from her.

Love is taken away from Alice, and then the authorities, those who people THINK they can count on to help them in times of need, turn their backs on Alice and her need to find answers. That would send anyone into a spiraling descent into grief and anger and borderline insanity. At that point, I suspect, one might very well end up in a permanent state of depression, rage, and mental imbalance. The trick is to know when to stop the downward slide and turn that angry energy into something useful and even constructive. Alice Carter does that…and the Red Veil is born.

A broken heart, an unavenged murder, unanswered questions, a police badge cut to shreds by a bereaved widow, a wedding dress dyed crimson and black, a childhood that taught a young girl to fend for herself when need be, a corruption within the police department, a dual personality, and an image designed to scare the pants off any criminal who crosses Alice’s path! I threw all these ingredients into the cauldron and the Red Veil was born!
