Diego Galindo's character designs for Eris from LAWFUL as both a little girl and a young adult. Eris is white with orange hair; as a kid she's got a cat tail and is wearing a shirt with a heart stitched onto it; as an adult she's got horns and a cheetah tail and paw and wears a leather jacket with a flaming heart on it. Lots of cheeky attitude. ALT Diego Galindo's character designs for Sung from LAWFUL as a young kid and a young adult. Sung is an Asian male. As a kid, he's wearing baggy, hand stitched shirt and pants with a kind of cape; as an adult, he's wearing similar clothes but is also carrying a satchel. Tentative smile as a child; wary look as an adult. ALT 3 Greg Pak @gregpak.bsky.social LAWFUL is one of the most personal and fantastical stories I've ever written. There's a lot in there about my specific Asian American experience growing up in the 1980s and that only semi-conscious, desperate feeling that following the rules to the letter will provide safety. And there are monsters.

Big news, friends! I’m writing a new original comic series called LAWFUL, published by BOOM! Studios and drawn by Diego Galindo with colors by Irma Kniivila, letters by Simon Bowland, cover by Qistina Khalidah, and editing by Shantel LaRoque! Coming this June!

Here’s a tease from the interview with Newsarama:

“Imagine a chunk of a big city ripped from Earth in the 1980s, set down on a fantastical planet, and cursed with one simple spell: every time you break a rule, you turn a bit more into a monster. Now jump forward 75 years and let’s see what happens.”
