Slavers from Excalibur #17

Post by Rayeye »

Hello Mr. Davis,

I just re-read the classic Excalibur #17 where Excalibur visits Kymri's reality. On page 12 and 13 you see those purple Slavers. Two of them are named Cyril and Reg. One another is called Nigel Frobisher.
Since there was also a regular Excalibur character called Nigel Frobisher in the mainstream reality, does this mean the Slaver was meant to be an alternate counterpart of him?
Furthermore, is it coincidence that in the mainstream reality two of Vixen's men are also called Cyril and Reg?

Anyway, thanks and big appreciations for the great art you're making!

As previously mentioned elsewhere on the Forum, the easiest way to highlight the nature of alternate realities was in making familiar characters look weird or simply giving familiar names to weird characters.
