Preacher #33 page 15

This is a wonderful original page from Preacher #33 (page 15), showcasing everything that made Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's legendary run such a cult classic. The scene gathers virtually the entire core cast—Jesse Custer, Tulip, Cassidy, Starr, and the unforgettable Arseface—in a deceptively simple conversation sequence that perfectly captures the series’ unique blend of sharp characterization, absurd humor, and deadpan delivery.

Dillon’s storytelling is at its finest here: clean layouts, expressive acting, and impeccable timing allow Ennis’ dialogue to shine. The page revolves around Arseface’s hilariously awkward introduction to Starr, creating a sequence that balances genuine character interaction with the kind of outrageous comedy that became a trademark of the series. The opening close-up of Arseface giving a thumbs-up is an instant eye-catcher and one of those classic visual gags that only Preacher could pull off with such confidence.

What makes this page particularly special is the presence of all the major players in a single scene, interacting in a way that feels effortless and unmistakably Ennis. There are no explosions, no supernatural revelations, just a conversation loaded with irony, uncomfortable pauses, and razor-sharp humor—exactly the kind of moment that helped elevate Preacher beyond a traditional comic book into one of the defining Vertigo series of the 1990s.

A fantastic example of Steve Dillon’s understated mastery and Garth Ennis’ unmistakable voice, this page captures the heart of Preacher: outrageous, funny, character-driven, and completely unforgettable.
