Jody

Jody is a brutal enforcer from the Louisiana bayou who served the L'Angell family, acting as the feared right-hand man who helped raise Jesse Custer under harsh, violent conditions on the family compound.

Jody made their entrance in the pages of Preacher #8 in 1995, born from the wickedly imaginative partnership of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon in one of DC's most celebrated and transgressive Vertigo-era series. Sharing the page with Jesse Custer, Tulip O'Hare, and Marie L'Angell, Jody exists at the dark, gothic heart of a story that pushed comics into genuinely dangerous territory. Though their catalog appearances are relatively few, the company Jody keeps — and the world Ennis and Dillon built around them — guarantees a memorable, unsettling presence that lingers long after the page turns. Collected across landmark editions including Absolute Preacher and the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Omnibus, Jody is a character worth tracking down for any serious fan of the modern era's most uncompromising work.
