This page reiterates key scenes from WICKED THINGS so you don’t have to go and look them up. But you can if you want to. Claire’s Fleabag jumpsuit was a real feature of that first issue.
I did a variant cover for the first issue of Wicked Things but I lost my way a bit on it (a lot). My roughs were better. [In common with a lot of direct market series, you often have to draw a cover for the first few issues before there is a logo, with no idea how big it will be, hence the By Night indicia.]
ADDENDUM: reader “Grant” was kind enough to summarise the whole of Wicked Things in the style of self-styled “Piano Man” Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start The Fire.
