a Creeps retrospective.

Creeps was basically a drunken, perverted pile of bricks. He was killed off in a comic I illustrated titled 'The Gambler'. Creeps was defined by his frequent drunkenness, uncomfortable directness, & love of late 9os rap-rock.

Recently I've been thinking on how mainstream, contemporary comic book companies frequently kill off popular characters.. then create lucrative resurrections, or alternate timelines, to bring the iconic decedents back into existence. The ill-conceived (almost sacrilegious) killing off of Superman is the one that always stood out to me most. That said, just reminding long time readers of Creeps before I dig him back out.
