GCA 2007: Best Female Character

Rearranging the schedule a bit so I’ll be able to give the Alex Simmons interview the exposure it deserves. That will hopefully go up beginning tomorrow. In the meantime…

Amo Tanzer, Lucifer’s Garden of Verses: Between the Devil & Miles Davis
Lance Tooks, writer and artist
2006 WINNER for LGV: Darlin’ Niki
“I mean, seriously, if you know the herd’s about to thin… big time… do you kick into overdrive tryin’ to fatten it up? Doesn’t make a lick of fuckin’ sense… having babies this year, only to bury them next year.”
“Easy, girl. Take another sip.”
“I just don’t get what people are thinking.”
“I know, baby. Savor it. Think on it.”
“I swear I’ll never have another moment’s rest until I’m dead.”

Evelyn Prescott, Stagger Lee
Derek McCulloch, writer, Shepherd Hendrix, artist
“I guess that’s my problem. That’s why I went back to the Castle that night. Why I started going to saloons again. I turned my first trick when I was thirteen. Worked for you when I was fifteen. Went away with Dangerfield when I was sixteen.

“Now that I’m getting married again, I started wondering… do I know how to be anything but a whore?”

Ororo, Storm
Eric Jerome Dickey, writer, David Yardin, Lan Medina & Jay Leisten, artists
“I did not go to him. He scared me. I looked at him and my body felt… strange. It had never felt that way with any other boy.

“All the girls, with a glance, offered him paradise.

“I’d never bowed before anyone. I would only bow before my husband. As he would bow before me. Out of mutual respect, not subservience.”

Sahara, Elephantmen
Richard Starkings, writer, Moritat, artist
Um… I can’t seem to find Elephantman anywhere in my room, so instead, I’ll give you the next bext thing: an interview with writer Richard Starkings. Sorry ’bout that.

Thomasina Lindo, Welcome to Tranquility
Gail Simone, writer, Neil Googe, artist
“That harmless old guy? That’s Maximum Man. Used to be the most powerful maxi goin’. Had a magic word that turned him from an accountant into a superhero. Only he had an accident. Forgot the word. Now he reads from dictionaries, every single word, all day long, tryin’ to find that word again. That one’s Hebrew, I think.

“These people, Collette. They told the Nazis to shove it. Sometimes literally.

“Don’t make them a punch line.”
