Pug Davis
Rebecca Sugar - 2010
The hero of the comic is the titular Pug Davis: a defender of Earth with an American flag emblazoned on his chest. A bare-knuckles brawler. A man of action with a puppy for a head. He’s basically Buck Rogers if Buck was a surly old marine. He makes no attempt to hide that he’s a grizzled sourpuss, tossing about politically incorrect epithets that he may or may not mean. Pug’s past is a mystery, and he burdens a hidden pain that becomes apparent when you look at him directly in those big puppy-dog eyes. He’s also got a sort of Jesse James or Billy the Kid reputation: killers seem to be popping out of the woodwork just to see if they can take a crack at the infamous Pug Davis.
