Synopsis
A comic-style panel depicting a 360° panoramic illustration of a movie theatre, projected on whose screen is the title card for the film "I Pennacchi di Nitrato della Fenice." An usher has entered the room, interrupting the showing in search of Myra Q, whose blonde-haired, alternate universe "movie version" is in the audience. The dialogue is written in Italian and the artwork uses a vintage aesthetic with bold lines and a limited color palette of yellow, red, and black.

Notes
This issue is a dual story flip book, with each side having a separate cover and indicia title. The center's double-page spread is a pull-out poster, which faces right-side up following *The Nitrate Plumes of the Phoenix* side.
This Premiere Edition version of the issue is limited to five (5) hand-numbered copies, each signed by Nick Curtis and Jacqui Quinn. These were included in The Hornoir Society's 2025 mystery box alongside similarly signed and numbered editions of *Vint Age Press Presents… Leading Ladies*, *ICKS* #7, *MiracuLass* #257 [ashcan], and *Thirteen Cancelled Comics* in addition to a double-sided *Trigger Warning* placard, a letter apologizing for the delayed delivery, a double-sided *Hornoir Bloody Hornoir* / *A Young Person's Primer on Post-Comics* 13 in. x 19 in. poster, and five (5) *Murder in the Crimson Circle* trading card game (TCG) test/prototype cards.
While this issue has no price listed on it, the minimum amount paid through The Hornoir Society's Patreon to receive a 2025 mystery box was a twelve-month commitment at $9/month (totaling $108) and the above "On-sale Date" reflects when the first mystery box was mailed to a Patreon supporter. Furthermore, while this issue has no publisher's age guideline printed on it, the double-sided *Trigger Warning* placard included with all 2025 mystery boxes notes that: "All Hornoir Society publications — whether stated on their covers or not — are 'Suggested for Mature Readers' due to potentially disturbing themes and graphic imagery, including descriptions and depictions of sadism, mutilation, murder, sexual assault, and a gamut of other goodies."
Copies of this issue came packaged in a 4 mil. Mylar archival polyester (boPET) sleeve with a crystal-clear backing board. Additionally, each sleeve's beaded flap was held down by a die-cut, removable/low-tack "Certified Authentic by The Hornoir Society" vinyl sticker.
