La Bête-noire
After the Lisbon Crisis of 2021, the populist movement won landslide elections with promises to reduce the pain of austerity. In 2025, PRIDE cancelled elections nationwide, nullified the Portugeuse Constitution and outlawed all other political parties.

Only one entry for this challenge. Another “Capital Vice.”
A twisted take on “The Letter People,” I designed “The Letter Sinners” (aka, “Capital Vices”) for the Seven Deadly Sins challenges. Wrath is a personal favorite.
Alas, poor Silas Manticore. He worked years as a copyboy with no recognition or advancement. Fed up with the lack of respect, he swore vengeance upon the world.
Alas, poor Silas Manticore. He soon found that being a supervillain was also unsatsifying.
As with the Zodiac, Jeff decided to conduct a series of challenges based on the Seven Deadly Sins. First up: Wrath!
Rather than going with wrath as a state of mind or form of retribution, my first entry was a lesson in geography. Cape Wrath is the on the northwest tip of Scotland. Which also makes it the northwestern point of the UK mainland.

Great story! It strikes a lot of themes familiar to most fiction readers. So it was easy to follow. Even for non-fans, there was enough dialogue and interaction between the characters that the setting was identifiable. The setting was almost secondary to the action.
The editor in me notes: ““We can make sure that none of your friends have died in vein.” That should be “vain.”
The designs are solid and complemented each other well. You definitely have an eye for making characters part of the same world. And, of course, the group shots at the end.

The challenge was to create a character or design or the adjective “lissom.” “Lissom” means “lithe” or “flexible.” It also means “agile” or “nimble.” I thought of worms, snakes, eels, etc. Not quite a “lissom” fellow, but I came up with the Italian Renaissance superhero “The Wyrm.”
