GIL

This is Gil. He gets beat up a lot. Drop-kicked. Punched. Bit in the ass. Shot. Loses a finger. Dehydration. And that's on a good day. Oh, and he catches on fire, too.

-
Gil's theme.

DUMBBELLES AND DUMBBELL

Three more intelligence-challenged villains. Meet Iz, Creed, and Blue.

-
Being dumb isn't always a bad thing.

SUFFER

Stick something in her face / Suffer the consequences.

Couple panels from the book. Pencils & inks by Alex, colors by John.

Suffer

HIS NAME IS THUG

There's a handful of bad guys and bad girls in Wednesday. All of them are lethal intelligent killers... except for one who has the brain of a brick. Guess which one this guy is.

-

That's a lot of Thug Shirts.

BIG TROUBLE

This panel spells big trouble for every character in the story.

-

Maybe the only time it was ever okay to use the phrase "big trouble" in a title.

BLIXA'S LITTLE HELPER

Here's another panel from the comic. This one features Blixa Danzig and his little helper. Looks like shop class.

-

Lithium is a type of metal. Right?

BLIX

...and he's the good guy.

-

Namesake.

SPLAKT

You know you're having a bad day when SPLAKT.

-

Kitty will beat you.

W.T.H.

What The Hair.

Here's another random panel from Wednesday. No, Wednesday is not having a bad hair day. That's fashion. (She gets it under control a few pages later).

As a comic book artist you have to be fashion-aware. Doesn't matter where your story is set or what it's about. You have to dress your characters and do their hair -- especially when it comes to the pajama-party of superhero comics. I mean, SOMEONE designed Lobo's hair and make-up.  He didn't get that Rob Zombie look all on his own... and SOMEONE gave this guy Robert Smith hair.

-

...speaking of Robert Smith Hair.

COMING FOR YOU

Soon you will be his. Because you taste good.

-
Short and fast. Like a snack.

BIG BAD

This guy brings mayhem, death, destruction.

He says HELLO by throwing a car at your face.

-

Speaking of bigness and badness, here's your Epic Wednesday theme song...

CUDA

If you've followed any of my blogs or postings over the years, you might have noticed I have a thing for the Hottest Car On Wheels Ever. 1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda.

A 71 'Cuda is one of the main characters in the Wednesday comic. You'll see it go through some changes over the course of the book. Here's a panel, pre-flames. And by "flames" I mean paint... or DO I?

Burn Burn Burn.   Kisses for everyone.
