Sean Phillips, Criminal Iss. 7, p. 10. First appearance of Teeg, shooting birds on a rooftop with his sons Ricky and Tracy

Teeg is my fav character in the Criminalverse (well, favorite to read about, but I wouldn't want to meet him irl), and here is his first in-panel appearance. We had been hearing about him from his son Tracy, and from Leo, and other characters starting with the 1st issue in this long running series, but he didn't show himself until issue 7. A poignant scene...

Interestingly, even though his face is only partially visible here, it's clear that Phillips hadn't yet settled on his model for the character yet, which I think was still true during his 2nd and 3rd appearance (see the additional image to my panel from Criminal Issue 9, p. 2 and judge for yourself, if you are as interested in this arcana as I am lol).

Criminal is one of greatest examples of what comics can be, IMO.

Thanks again to Mark and Sean for another smooth transaction! And thanks for taking a look!
