Characters and story
editGesebel is the queen of the far Virgin Planet, whose people is mostly composed by war-like and beautiful women, organized into a military society. Gesebel owns the largest man harem on the planet, whom she used to whip after any sexual intercourse, as well as a golden-teethed cat (called Pussycat) who has the power to kill any man who tries to escape from her. The men who rebel against Gesebel are destined to be slaughtered by beasts in the circus.
