from artist Cameron Stewart‘s blog:

“Doc Hero, the retired superhero. Since the defeat of Anti-Dad and the rest of the supervillains he hasn’t had much to do other than ride the Eye-Go-Round at Mickey Eye Park, so he’s stopped wearing his magnificent golden armour and dresses more casually. I changed the design of his helmet slightly, influenced by the mask of rapper MF Doom.”

“Seaguy’s costume has had a few changes from the original series. Grant Morrison has said that if the first series was the ‘child’ Seaguy (naive, full of curiosity and wonder, prone to trouble), then this is the ‘teenage’ Seaguy (knows too much to return to ignorant bliss, but still hasn’t defined who he wants to be). His costume is less colourful this time – still keeping with the blue, yellow and black colour scheme, but black is now the dominant colour, and the blue is a much darker shade. I dropped the belt so he looks less like a toy superhero, and more like he’s wearing a wetsuit. The ‘SG’ logo was the trickiest part, I was never happy with the yellow oval of the first costume and so I spent almost a full day sketching dozens of variations until I found the ‘wave’ design, which is still a callback to the previous costume design but more modern and nautical.

She-Beard has had a complete redesign, again, still keeping with the colour scheme of the original for visual continuity but otherwise entirely new. Her only real description is ‘Red Sonja. With a beard.’

Seadog, whom we found out at the end of the last series is also the villain Lotharius, keeps his yellow stripey shirt, but I gave him white pants and boat shoes, which calls to mind the citizens of the Village in The Prisoner.

And finally Death, the Grim Gondolier, who claimed Seaguy’s pal Chubby Da Choona as his own in issue 2 of the previous series. He still can’t find anyone but Seaguy to play him at Chess…
