Peculiarities Part 2

So, here are some more of the obscure heroes from  Madison Comics - see the prior post to get caught up.



So, on the left is the Human Dog. I already had two anthropomorphic-animal types, so I went a different way here. I figure this fellow is a sleuth, with all the relentlessness of a bloodhound on a trail, and that's where he picked up his nickname. He's also loyal to a fault, like a dog; that would be a repeated plot device.

Upper right finds Jackass. The "stupid, foolish or offensive" connotation didn't grab me, so I tried for more of a burro-donkey vibe. Smaller, stubborn, hard to move, and with heavy boots for kickin'.

Our first woman hero is Lady X. Again, the usual "X the unknown" has been done to death, so in this case the X is for crosshairs or "X marks the spot" - Lady X is a sharpshooting whiz. The poorly-drawn Mausers are an hommage to the Paul Kirk Manhunter.
