In 1966, she acted like an agent for her daughter, picking out her revealing costume. This ignited Sally's motivations for Laurie's future. īy 1962 Laurie was living with her family in a Los Angeles villa where " Uncle Hollis" would pay them a visit, like when he came to discuss the book he was writing. She spent much of her childhood by working out in the gym, alone. Laurie never held much interest in becoming her mother's successor but went along with Sally's wishes anyway. She had bought her GI Joe with spare uniforms. Since when she was little, Laurie wanted to work with animals, however, Sally pushed her into the "family business" of crime-fighting. Growing up, the auburn-haired Laurie knew Laurence was not her real father, and always suspected, incorrectly, that her real father was Hooded Justice likely because they were, supposedly, dating during the 1940s. In reality, Laurence scolded Sally for having another affair with the Comedian. Laurie's first memory ever was a night of 1954 when she caught her mother and her husband Laurence, arguing and fighting over their lives and how they ended up together. ‘Before Watchmen: Silk Spectre #1’ Is The Best Work Of Amanda Conner’s Career (So Far) ( Juspeczyk was born on Decemand was raised by her mother, Sally Jupiter, and her husband, Laurence Schexnayder after her birth, problems in the couple's marriage began.More from Burke can be found over at, and the cover above is a rare Jim Lee 1:200 variant cover that’s available at Cosmic Comics! right now!

#Watchmen silk spectre 1 series
The book is just the beginning of a 4 part series so I would expect to see Laurie Jupiter‘s crash course on becoming the Silk Spectre real soon. It’s only flaws are clichés of a bullied girl, run into the ground by her mother, and hitting the road with no direction in mind. Not as interesting and raw as Minutemen #1, the Silk Spectre story still has some depth to it. The art’s so good that you actually forget about the decent story it hides beneath it. One of my favorite parts of the book are the small comically exaggerated thoughts Laurie has. Panel by panel the story moves, almost like you would see in a storyboard for a movie. Conner’s art is clean and allows you to see every emotion on each characters face. The only difference is, what Laurie thinks she’s running away from, she’s actually on a one way track to becoming what she never wanted, the Silk Spectre.Īmanda Conner draws and co-writes Silk Spectre #1 with Darwyn Cooke, who also did the highly enjoyable Minutemen “Before Watchmen” book. Laurie doesn’t want what her mother is giving, or forcing upon her, she feels like an outsider at school, and is bullied by classmates who know about her mother’s past infidelities. But unfortunately, like many other parents who push their offspring to the limit, the opposite happens, they run. Sally has what seems to be the best intentions for her daughter, teaching her to be strong, smart, independent, and resourceful. A girl from a broken home, pushed by a once vivacious and powerful mother, and now trying to outrun her inherently endless shadow. Silk Spectre #1 isn’t about the Sally Jupiter “Silk Spectre”, but instead about her daughter Laurie.
It’s not fair to compare the two, but everyone knows they will be. Silk Spectre #1 hit store shelves after Minutemen #1, a tough act to follow. The second of the much awaited “ Before Watchmen” series has arrived.
