OMS: Well Hung

OMS: Well Hung



This ten issue comic series, released in 2011 was written by German Suddard writer, Klaus Schwartz and contained artwork by the now deceased Russian cartoonist, Dimitri Kreunov. The artwork relied heavily on dramatic drawing and only featured the colours, red, white and black, including the stylised covers which could be placed together to create a ten part poster showing an iconic scene from the series.



Synopsis

The well received story of Well Hung is set sometime before the original Suddard film with an unspecified date. We meet a reasonably murderous Suddard who has just finished killing a group of teenagers. The story then proceeds to reveal that one of the teenagers was the son of a wealthy woman who decides to get her revenge on Suddard by placing a bounty on his head. The woman, who goes by the name, Jade, sits and watches the events unfold as Suddard faces increasingly more dangerous assassins including the notorious Glue Trapper, the assassin armed with shoes known as Laces Hemmingway, the vicious dog like, Canus and the ex KGB warrior known as Red Ursula.



Once Suddard had worked his way through the people sent to kill him, he would go on to storm the Jade Castle where he confronted his attacker. The following battle between Suddard and Jade’s Golem creature in the castle crypts is still seen as one of the most entertaining fights in a comic book.



Trivia

This comic featured various nods at other Suddardy media such as a reference to the character of Benji Handslam in the form of a photo hanging on the wall of the diner that Suddard visits.



Following a fan character poll, the assassin known as “The Maori,” quickly rose to become one of the most popular characters to ever appear in a Suddard related story. This sudden popularity influenced the launch of a spin off Maori comic series that ran from February 2012 to March 2013.



A huge gathering took place at the house of Dimitri Kreunov in September 2012 following his death. The large crowd of fans paid their respects to the Suddard artist by arriving dressed as Suddard characters with flowers and formed a guard of honour during his funeral.
