Snively was the first centipede designed for The Underground. Admittedly, he is a testament to the juvenile means by which many characters were created for the book. I would often try to dedicate characters to friends and family, and Snively was based on my friend Adam Snively (Sorry Adam, if I’m spelling your name wrong!). The original concept was sketched by another friend of mine, David O’Connor. Later this would be translated for use in an early ‘Coloured Edition’ of the book which had very little direct connection to the main storyline, but was sent to Marvel Comics, DC, and Image. The character was blue (instead of the more appropriate brown), and he could fire harpoons out of his forearms! A little far-fetched? Maybe. But hey, what do you expect from an eighteen year-old who draws talking bugs?
