Thank you for reading this book! HELL BABES is written, drawn, colored, lettered, designed, & published by Diego Gómez with editing assistance by Justin Hall, William O. Tyler, & Rita Sapunor.

HELL BABES #1 (sans cover, pinups & mural) was originally published in August 2019 in the anthology THEATER OF TERROR: REVENGE OF THE QUEERS by Northwest Press & Peaches Christ.

In the Summer of 2020, Emma @CBS found Hell Babes in THEATER OF TERROR & optioned the rights to make a Hell Babes TV show! The pitch didn’t get picked up but throughout following year I hired my favorite artists to draw Hell Babes pin-ups. In 2022, I took a Character Design for Animation class taught by X-Men `97 director @SaintChase & thought.. What if: HELL BABES: THE ANIMATED SERIES! Many businesses have closed since the beginning of the pandemic & in part because of this, I was offered the opportunity to paint murals on shuttered buildings. My 13th & biggest mural so far is about 10-feet tall, 180-feet wide & HELL BABES -THEMED! This mural wraps around the building where they filmed the INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE scene with Brad Pitt & Christian Slater & is located at 1000 Market Street, San Francisco. Around 100 community volunteers helped me paint it in about 7 days!

ABOUT THE COVER: Queen of Hell (Babes) Trangela is holding a photo of my decapitated crying head that wound up being an INSTAGRAM ANIMATED GIF , usable in the stories/sticker section of !

You can use the TRANGELA gif by searching BEARD, BEARDED DRAG, DRAG, or DRAG QUEEN.
