Dean was a bit visually vexed in Giant Days. My intention when designing him was that he was a young man who dressed with no fashion at all, like a much older man. Real “Blue Harbour at Marks & Spencers” energy. But Liz Fleming who was inking the comic at the time had kind of a wobbly brush ink style, which made him look older and droopier around the jaw line. My thought was he’d changed universities multiple times so could have been 23 or 24 by the end of the series. That would put him in his early 30s now.
