Inside The Book No 60

Molly the cyborg girl went through many different designs, and I was changing her look right up to her first appearance. Benita’s original concept was of a girl who was more machine than human, and whose form and function didn’t necessarily match that of the human body. For a while she looked sort of “Robocop” like, but eventually we arrived at the design you’ve come to see her as in the comic. Molly was really difficult for me to design because the horror of her condition bothered me a great deal. This was a hurdle I had to jump on my own, and now I’m cool with it. Mollie is one of our more popular characters, and she plays heavily in the next story arc.
I am really glad you went with the design you did. For some reason whenever you cover a character's face like that it is hard to think of them as the victim. I can't wait to see Molly again!
I agree, Dustin, though I never thought of it that way. I'm also really glad we went with a human form for her. Mollie has a pretty big role to play in the next story arc, which is fast approaching.
