Sebastian O

(Vertigo, 1993)
™ and ©1992 Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell

Sebastian O is that most charming of criminals: an intelligent lover of beauty almost completely devoid of moral sensibilities. He’s a depraved seeker of pleasure who believes that crimes can be great fun—provided you’re clad in the finest of garments while committing them.

He was sentenced to a long term in jail on (slightly) exaggerated charges of sexual perversion and debauchery. In reality, he was set up by a “dear friend” whom Sebastian has now sworn to kill. Years later, he masterminded an incredible escape from England’s highest security prison. In doing so he left a remarkable trail of bloodshed—all done, naturally, with impeccable style.
