George-Wassil

If I have one criticism of Oh, Hell, it’s that the plot feels rushed. In one volume we meet the main characters, learn of the school in Hell, learn the backstories of the main characters, and have a resolution to the plot. George Wassil has a lot going on in this story and it’s too bad he didn’t have the room to spread it out over at least two volumes. I’d been intrigued to read the story since speaking with him at Baltimore Comic-Con 2015. Our main character, Angela (who also goes by Zoel) was found abandoned in a dumpster as a baby. She becomes an exceptionally trying teenager and her adopted parents send her to what they think is another boarding school, but is actually a school in Hell. Who wouldn’t want to see where that goes?

Sometimes there’s a story inside someone that just has to get out, one way or another. That’s what happened with George Wassil and Oh, Hell, his independently published graphic novel. As he mentions in the interview, he’s had this idea percolating in his head for decades, but it was only through a creative writing class that he found the right version of that story to tell. Expect it to get a full Comic POW! article in the future. ...
