Jerry “Judge” Hinds talks about SUPACROSS #2

Jerry “Judge” Hinds is the President of the Association of Comic Artists Singapore, a Stand-Up Comedian, and the creator of Supacross. He has been a fixture in the Singapore comic scene for years. He was nice enough to stop by First Comics News to let our readers know all about Supacross.

First Comics News: Who is Myst?

Jerry Hinds: A 17-year-old megastar street magician, Carla Carlson, actually has powers, and hides in plain sight.

1^st: What brings Myst to Singapore?

Jerry: The ASEAN leg of her world tour. She gets her powers from the Orb of Orion – a magical dome that comes from the extra-Dimensional Z.

1^st: Who is Singapore Sling?

Jerry: Crissy Lee. A precocious 14-year-old convent girl. Her powers come from the macabre SlingCrest – also born of Dimension Z.

1^st: Who is D-Temasek?

Jerry: Rosli Rahim. A mild-mannered, slightly vain, 18-year-old art student. His powers come from being possessed by an ancient Malay warrior and magical alien warrior chief.
