Or – “My Favorite Watchmen Character…”
Laurie Juspeczyk is a problematic character. She’s foul-mouthed, short-tempered, inappropriate, and highly flawed. In short, she’s the everyman glue that holds the extraordinary sorts of Watchmen together. While her story is reliant upon the other cast-members, the primary characters of the book become reliant upon her as well. Can the incredibly talented team of Conner & Cooke get her right?
Most of the time, when we look at art from a specific artist, we only get the final image. Sometimes we are able to see a couple of images of the work in progress, but rarely do we get to watch the artist in action. Today, not only do we get a look at Amanda Conner’s Silk Spectre, but we get a time-lapse video of Amanda drawing the piece.
While Watchmen may be out of the theaters, it is still on the mind of many, including Reinaldo Quintero, who brings us his interpretation of the movie version of the Silk Spectre.

Sure the movie may have already died at the box office, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate art based on the “best selling graphic novel of all time”.
Take the jump for the full on image of Silk Spectre done by Olga Ulanova.
In this issue: The Man of Steel on the auction block! The Commander In Chief takes over the industry! Wee Hughie oversteps his bounds! Plus: Deadshot’s in your house, shootin’ up your targets! I can has Silk Spectre? Chiana has invisible space blasters! And, Stephen Ignatius Schleicher is a rotten ol’ somepin somepin, and all sorts o’ mean nasty stuff, with 25 8 by 10 color glossy photographs with the circles and the arrows and the paragraph on the back describin’ each one! So, when the chorus comes around, everybody sing together… with feelin’…
Show Notes after the Jump!
This week, we return to the battle between the characters from Alan Moore’s Watchmen series, and the original characters that inspired them. This week, it’s the battle of the ladies, as Silk Spectre wrestles with… well, there is no direct Charlton character that inspired Silk Spectre, but Alan Moore did say she is a cross between Phantom Lady and Black Canary. So, let’s go with Phantom Lady.
