As you might know, we’re in this year’s Jack Kir­by Trib­ute Month, cre­at­ed by Howard Simp­son. A new, cool thing Howard intro­duced this year has been weeks with over­all themes to them. This week’s theme is Granny Good­ness’ Orphan­age, with char­ac­ters who grew up there on Apokolips. Today’s prompt is Bernadeth of the Female Furies.

I’ve nev­er attempt­ed to draw her before. Jack gave her a very dis­tinc­tive look. She tend­ed to be a back­ground play­er when the Furies would show up, and did­n’t usu­al­ly get much dia­logue. Prob­a­bly the most screen­time and dia­logue she got was in her first appear­ance, in Mis­ter Mir­a­cle #6 (the infa­mous “Funky Flash­man” sto­ry, where all the Furies first appeared). We learn that she’s the sis­ter of Desaad, Dark­sei­d’s mas­ter tor­tur­er. A cool and dis­pas­sion­ate per­son, her weapon of choice is the Fahrneknife, which can “pen­e­trate dimensionally–and bar­be­cue [you] from the inside!!” Chill­ing idea!

Hope you like my take on her. For who’s next, feel free to come back by here again tomorrow!
