Larry Schexnayder

Larry Schexnayder is the manager and husband of Sally Jupiter (Silk Spectre) in the prequel storyline, navigating the behind-the-scenes world of the original Minutemen as a promoter and handler for the golden-age superhero team.

Darwyn Cooke brought Larry Schexnayder to life in 2012 as part of DC's ambitious Before Watchmen prequel project, planting him firmly in the rich, morally complex world that Alan Moore's landmark series made legendary. A Modern Age creation with a relatively intimate footprint of seven catalogued appearances, Larry moves through the pages of Before Watchmen: Minutemen and Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre in the company of iconic figures like Silk Spectre, Sally Jupiter, and Edward Blake. He may not be the most prolific character in the DC universe, but for fans who love the layered, noir-tinged storytelling of the Watchmen corner of comics, he's a rewarding piece of a meticulously crafted puzzle — and any character touched by Cooke's masterful hand is worth seeking out.
