Guess the comic character

Pitt

Yep, you are once again correct.

Pitt was of the first generation of characters from the forefathers of Image Comics: a company formed by high profile artists from Marvel panting at a chance to stick it to (how they felt) a restricting business.

The following passage describing who is Pitt is taken directly from Keown's homepage:

"The fetus that would become PITT was stolen from Ann Bracken's womb early on in her pregnancy. The thieves were alien geneticists, members of a race conquered long ago by the interstellar warriors of the Creed. Combining the fetus's DNA with that of the Creed Emperor Zoyvod, those aliens created a being who embodied the most aggressive traits of both human and Creed - the most savage, most powerful hybrid ever to emerge from one of Zoyvod's gestation tanks. PITT possesses stupendous strength and endurance; his unusual brain chemistry responds to pain as a stimulant instead of a deterrent, so the more he hurts, the harder he fights. He weighs about a thousand pounds, and stands 7 feet tall. He's a mighty force with his massively-muscled legs, razor-sharp teeth and retractable talons. Genetically engineered to be an assassin for Creed, PITT struggles to cope with his human emotions."

Pitt was the brainchild of Dale Keown, who made his name drawing The Incredible Hulk in the '90s. He later had Pitt fight and team-up with The Hulk in an one-shot publication put on the market jointly by Image and Marvel. Pitt has also had a successful crossover with the character The Darkness.

HERE is a link to Dale Keown's site which hosts some online pages from the series, wallpapers, and other information in regards to the character, the studio, and the artist.

To be honest, the only reason I picked up the first couple issues when they came out in 1993 was because of my prior fandom with Keown's Hulk run. Keown is infamous for taking far too long between issues.

All that said, the thread is once again in your control, GOLLUM.
 
Re: Pitt

I'm fine with a lot of the DC universe. Marvel and co have me at a disadvantage. :)
Well I'll make sure my next one is in the DC Universe, there a free clue...:D

I'll post a hint within the next 12 hours if no-one responds correctly to the post before then...

um, Private Pig?
No but very close. By way of another clue it's essentially a variation on your answer.

I'll give another clue within the next 12 hours...:D
 
McMurphy said:
Wild guesses: Private Hog, Detective Pig, Detective Hog....Investigator Pig, Investigator Hog...UGH!
You're all around it MUWHAHA!!!...:D

AHEM OK time to cool it. No not correct but here comes the final hint.

When you said Detective Pig loose the "pig" and think of the meat....;)

For eg. Detective Pork Crackling but that aint it but still pretty close. Get my drift though??...:cool:

Now for the final final hint this cartoon character is pretty recent we're taking post Year 2000 and as well as appearing in several books of his own he's also made appearances in US newspaper comic strips includingThe Washington Post and New York Times.

HMMM don't know why I'm being so generous they always say never give a sucker an even break but then I'm a sofite at heart...

I'll check in around the same time tommorow (approx 24 hrs) and if nobody has the correct answer I'll post another comic character but this time make sure it's more well known to give other members an opportunity.

Detective Ham? Of the Pork Squad? Bacon Division?
ARGH knew I'd given too many clues...:D

It's actually Detective Hamm I was looking for but close enough.

The character is actually Max Hamm the Fairytale Detective but I didn't think anyone would get that the way things were going so I was happy enough with that amlagam.

Well done Cullwch you genius!!!...;)

Your turn.
 
No idea but it's nice to be out of the loop...:D

I'm now offically in a comic-free zone until the New Year.
 
Wahey!
At last, one I recognise (and own!) - Ser Dunk the Tall from the Hedge Knight comics based on GRRM's A Song of Ice and Fire books.

Ok, here's one for your delectation - no right clicking you cheaters! :)

A hint, and warning! I think this comic is pretty much UK-only based, so unless you've seen it on import or it's more widely circulated than I imagine, you may have a hard time getting it. Although, this firm is famous enough to have one of it's character portrayed in Hollywood films and PS2 games, so.....

Here's one a little niche - and here's a few clues:

1. Marvel UK
2. Lauded 12-issue series (I missed one)
3. Cross-over with many US titles, including Transformers

Who is it?

Difficult, yes?
