As much as Preacher is about Jesse Custer finding God and calling Him on His bullshit, it’s also about the journey Cassidy takes from being a sleazy piece of shit vampire to redeemable human being. So basically, like Angel, with a lot more drugs, booze, sex, murder, and a more ridiculous Irish first name.
362 – Proinsias Cassidy
360 – Hypno-Hustler
So what was I saying about scraping the bottom of the obscure character barrel? Hi there, Hypno-Hustler, nice to meet you. Another kind-of request for Nick Marino.
359 – Wundarr the Aquarian
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in this year of daily sketches, it’s that just when you think you’ve found the most obscure character you could possibly draw, there’s another even more obscure character waiting around the corner. Today’s is the Aquarian, a sort-of request by Nick Marino, creator of multiple webcomics and 79 or so podcasts that can all be found at the link because he has far too many ventures for me to list. My first thought when seeing the Aquarian was “Disco Jesus”. Apparently this is a shared reaction among many on the internet.
358 – Manhunter
One of the many many Manhunter characters that have run around the DC Universe, but also one of the best.
So of course, her series got cancelled.
357 – Mockingbird
Marvel’s version of Black Canary to their version of Green Arrow, aka Hawkeye.
356 – KISS
This was a request from Matt Brassfield, who, like everyone, loves KISS. If you don’t love KISS, you’re wrong – and I’ve drawn a comic to explain why. I think this may be the new cover for that comic if I ever decide to reprint it. Matt wanted the four original members of KISS (Demon, Flaming Homosexual, Space Ace, Kitty Cat), as well as the two replacement characters (Fox, Ankh Warrior). He also wanted me to make sure that everyone knows how much he loves Vinnie Vincent, aka The Ankh Warrior. He loves that guy. A lot.
355 – Uncle Creepy playing the violin as Cousin Eerie dances with Vampirella
What the title says. Request fulfillment for Jeff Potter.
354 – Jack of Hearts
I’d been sitting on this one for a while, as I wanted to color it up all fancy-like, but I could never get around to it, and I’ve grown to dislike the drawing immensely. I may give the character another go in the future. Anyhoo, he’s yet another awesomely weird/obscure Marvel character from the 70s/80s, and created by Keith Giffen to boot!
