Day 14 Mannequin

| November 17, 2011 | 0 Comments

In Japanese comics the Magical Princess often had a familiar, usually a cute animal. In my comic Unlikely Savior Chyler, the idea was this was an American girl who became a ‘Sailor Moon’ type demon fighter. This made her the equivalent of an angel and Mannequin was her Halo.

Manny was a favorite of the few readers, unfortunately he fell to the side when I changed the direction of the comic from a Princess comic to a teen drama.

However Manny made a surprise appearance in the final pages of the comic, when Chyler embraced her abilities again for the 1 st time in about 2 years.

#13 – The Mannequin

The Mannequin started out as a kind of puppeteer character, sending strange creations after the heroes from the safety of his base of operations, or setting death traps – part Puppet Master part Arcade.

He kind of built up though to something more interesting, I think.

I love how Marco makes him look like Buster Keaton almost, blank faced and tragic.
