Spotlight On:
Wee Hughie!
(Hugh Campbell)
1st appearance: The Boys #1 (2006)
Why we like: Another great creation from the twisted mind of Garth Ennis!
Hugh Campbell was a regular London bloke on the cusp of being blissfully in love..
Life was looking great!
Unfortunately, his girlfriend was literally smashed to a pulp by an errant speedster superhero.
( and you thought YOU were having a rough day??? Oy! )
.
This incredible tragedy results in Hughie joining a covert CIA squad called ‘The Boys’, whose purpose is to keep a tight leash on the doings of superheroes -AKA- ‘capes’.
.
What makes it so bad is The Boys don’t mess around. What they do? – Nothing nice!!
It’s a dirty, dirrrty, durrrrrrty job!
In fact, they are more fucc’d in the head than the people they have to deal with!
.
In this outrageous Garth Ennis world filled with superpowers, world powers, espionage, orgies, sadism, torture, and sheer madness –
Wee Hughie is clearly way in over his head...
.
Which is EXACTLY why we like this guy! :o)
.
From all of us here at 2 Comic Book Guys – Wee Hughie, we salute you!
