Garment Safety Director

A minor but memorable piece of the quirky Modern Age universe John Maybury built at Soaring Penguin Press, the Garment Safety Director made their debut in Space Babe 113 #4 in 2008 — a title whose very name signals something gleefully offbeat. Rubbing shoulders with the likes of Space Babe 113 herself, Dr. Standing Stones, and the wonderfully named Rince Cycle, this character inhabits a world that clearly delights in the absurd and the inventive. With only a handful of appearances across a short-lived 2008–2009 run, the Garment Safety Director is a cult curiosity — exactly the kind of deep-cut find that makes digging through indie back issues such a rewarding adventure.
