Description

"When the rest of his race left our reality for a non-corporeal existence, the Merk was chosen to remain behind, the last of his people, to judge humans. He began empowering an agent with great power to seek out mass murderers and kill them. He guides his agents through dreams. By bathing in the Merk's blood, Horatio Hellpop became the first Nexus."

Was there a better and more mysterious character created in the 1980s than the Merk??? I will answer: no.

Looks great that Merk himself shows a lot of human qualities by the body language Rude imbues in him while deep in contemplative thought.

Really cool sketch!  Great dialog and pose, and I love how he did the hands, head, and that right foot
