About: The Wretch

The Wretch is a comic book created by Phil Hester and published by Slave Labor Graphics. The series focuses on the creepy town of Glass City and its residents who are protected by a strange entity known only as the Wretch. Weird things can always be found in Glass City, such as aliens, black magic, and even psychotic clowns. But the Wretch is always there to stop these things. The Wretch originally appeared in Joe Pruett's anthology title Negative Burn, where he was called "The Creep." The Wretch then moved into his own four-issue series published by Caliber Comics, which was followed by a six-issue series published by Slave Labor Graphics. The Caliber series was nominated for an Eisner award for best new series.
