We’re still in Jack Kirby Tribute Month, and a new week means a new theme! This is Granny Goodness’ Orphanage Week, featuring characters who grew up in that august institution on Darkseid’s Apokolips.
Today’s prompt to kick off the theme is the Female Furies, but I’ve decided to go slightly off-menu and give you only one Fury today: Stompa.
Stompa (and the other Furies) were first introduced in Mister Miracle #6. You can probably guess her specialty by her name. Sounds simple, but she made very effective use of her ability. Stompa and the other core Furies apparently decided to defect to Earth from Apokolips, and became semi-regulars in the book for the rest of its run.
I had a bit of a time trying to nail down her color scheme, as it seemed to sort of shift around a little bit. I ended up with this as a good compromise for consistency.
Stompa was kind of fun to draw! I hope you enjoyed my take, and tune back in tomorrow to see who’s next.
Good choice. And great pose to accentuate her skill. And once again your brighter colors really give this characters a clear place. I would have loved to see the introductory Female Furies panel done as you did Stompa. Thanks much.
Glad you enjoyed it! I initially did (very briefly) try to fit them all in one shot. But with the self-imposed rules I’ve been observing for all of these, I realized it would’ve been virtually impossible to fit them all in in one tiny shot, and get much in the way of action for everyone. But the other Furies will get their day too! Stay tuned!
