Introducing: Judy Drood, Girl Detective


One of the signature characters of Richard Sala was Judy Drood, a character who was part tribute to, and part spoof of, the ever-popular teenaged detective Nancy Drew. He created her in 1993 in what was intended as a one-shot short story for "Black Cat Crossing", but, when a friend several years later asked to read more about Judy Drood, Sala was more than happy to oblige.

Today, we present Judy's origin tale, the precursor to not one but two of Sala's major works--"Mad Night" (originally serialized in issues 1-12 of "The Evil Eye" as "Reflections in a  Glass Scorpion") and "The Graverobber's Daughter" (a graphic novel published in 2005).













Meanwhile, in the Shadows...

(Look for reviews of Judy Drood's adventures in future posts on this blog. Meanwhile, join us next Saturday for more Richard Sala art and A Very Peculia Halloween!)
