TROG:
Trog came after Belial, also in 1979. I was inspired to do the character by a Frank Frazetta painting (link 17). My finished version looks nothing like the Frazetta characters, which are very intriguing. But that's how reference art works. You're not looking to make a replica, but for ideas and inspiration.
As a one-off, I did a version of this mask called the Yeti, with long hair. With hair added, his look became very dramatic. R.Quinn Studios sold a version of the Yeti in the 80's.
Trog first appeared in our
second flyer as one of three
new designs that year,
along with the Demon
and Bat-Demon.
For collectors, finding a vintage
Trog today is difficult. Despite his interesting features (link 02),
Trog was vastly overshadowed
by Belial and the Ultimate Alien.
His alter ego, Yeti, also had
limited appeal, but I think it is
a very cool mask
