[Brute & Babe] ...It Begins...

In 1994, Ominous Press launched Brute & Babe...It Begins..., a single-issue comic from writer/artist Bart Sears that pairs a hulking, monstrous warrior with a sharp, resourceful female partner. This debut issue sets the tone for a raw, action-driven series blending fantasy and dark humor, with Sears' muscular, detailed artwork defining its gritty visual identity. Though brief, the series stands as a distinctive creator-owned project from the mid-90s, showcasing Sears' full creative control and his knack for bombastic, character-driven storytelling.
