10 || The Eltingville Club

William Alan "Bill" Dickey is the main antagonist of the Eltingville Club comic book series. Its television pilot is "Welcome to Eltingville".

He is one of the four members and president of the Eltingville Comic Book Club, and is obsessed with reading comics. As the series progresses, he is gradually revealed as a deranged sociopath whose obsession with fandom leads him to commit several morally reprehensible acts, even against his supposed "friends."

Biography Bill founded the Eltingville Club with his friends Josh, Pete, and Jerry when they were children. However, as the years passed, his obsession became increasingly twisted and cruel.

At some point, his parents divorced, which may or may not have contributed to his mental decline. He and his friends kept meeting up, breaking up, and getting back together over and over again.

After waiting impatiently outside Joe's Comic Book Shop, he was reluctantly hired. His delusions led him to believe he had power, and he even mocked his friends and kicked them out of the shop. This sparked a fight between the four of them (plus a very angry Joe), which led Bill to burn the shop down in a fit of rage. Afterward, he was hospitalized and a restraining order was issued against him, meaning he could never see his "friends" again.

Appearance Bill is a teenager who usually wears an orange coat and a t-shirt. He has brown hair, horrible crystals, and pimples. Bill is usually depicted as a somewhat disheveled teenager with a slightly unkempt appearance. His hair is typically messy and uncombed. He usually wears casual clothing that reflects his love of comics, often including T-shirts with graphics of popular superheroes or references to classic cult comics. He might pair these T-shirts with comfortable jeans or cargo shorts, usually accompanied by an orange flannel shirt. Bill has a youthful and expressive face, often with acne and glasses.

Personality Bill can only be described as a nasty, delusional little boy. Obsessed with fanon and possessing a distorted view of reality, Bill is a raging demon whose sole purpose in life is to expand his comic book collection and make others suffer.

Bill also has a bad temper and a sadistic sense of humor. He respects no one, not even his friends and family. Bill is described as a small, unpleasant, and arrogant child. He has a sadistic sense of humor and an explosive temper, and he often clashes, both verbally and physically, with his clubmates, particularly Josh Levy, but also with members of his own family.

He is portrayed as extremely stubborn, territorial in his interests, and prone to being reserved, often displaying sexist and prejudiced opinions. Bill is generally disliked by his peers, even within the Club. His fanaticism can reach dangerous levels; in the story "This Fan, This Monster," his brief employment at Joe's Fantasy World culminates in him setting the shop on fire after a disastrous power grab.

William "Bill" Dickey: Bill is the de facto leader of the quartet and is very interested in science fiction comics, TV series, and movies. He has an extremely authoritarian personality and is widely disliked by his companions, including the other members of the Eltingville Club. In "This Fanatic, This Monster," he is hired to work at the local comic book store, Joe's Fantasy World, and quickly becomes power-hungry, resulting in the store's destruction. He is of medium build, has light brown hair, and wears glasses. In the comic book series, it is mentioned that he has a younger brother, but in the pilot, his brother is replaced by a younger sister, Jane. It has frequently been implied that Bill is the most sadistic and sociopathic of the four. Age: 20

Full name Peter Michael DiNunzio Age: 20 Gender Male Eye color White (without pupil) Hair color Black Tastes Zombies Yellow Survival horror Classic horror Hammer Films Lucio Fulci. Peter "Pete" Michael DiNunzio is one of the four main characters in Evan Dorkin's Eltingville comics and the animated pilot Welcome to Eltingville. He is the "Secretary of Terror" of the Eltingville Club. He is characterized by his intense passion for the horror genre, particularly for practical visual effects (VFX), which borders on the fetishistic, and possesses a notably irascible and aggressive temperament. Appearance Pete is the shortest member of the Eltingville Club and is usually depicted as having a stocky build. His style reflects his interests, often featuring graphic tees related to horror, comics, or heavy metal bands, which he typically wears with jeans and sometimes a jacket. He sports a buzz cut, often hidden by a backwards baseball cap. His most distinctive facial features include a prominent unibrow, a large nose, and acne. Like Jerry, his eyes are usually drawn without pupils, appearing as white circles. Personality Pete shares the argumentative and short-tempered nature common to the group, especially Bill and Josh. He is easily angered, defensive, and often insults his companions, readily getting into fights. His specific obsession lies with the horror genre, displaying an almost fetishistic reverence for the masters of horror cinema and special effects artists. Despite his aggression, Pete occasionally attempts to project maturity or oppose the group's more extreme behaviors, as seen briefly in "Bring Me The Head Of Boba Fett," though these moments are usually fleeting. His defensive attitude may stem in part from his family life, where his interests are disapproved of, particularly by his father.

Pete listens to all kinds of metal, including black metal and death metal, and "anything with horror imagery is a plus." [1] Evan Dorkin mentioned that he always thought Pete might be bisexual. [2] Of the group members, Pete has the smallest collection, mainly because his father destroys his things because his interests are not "favorable". Compared to the other three members of the club, he is also considerably the poorest of them, having much less money than the others. In addition to the bullying he and his peers endured, Pete also suffered harassment from his older brothers and his father. Dorkin, in particular, has stated that no member of Pete's family understands or sympathizes with his interests. [3]

Dorkin has stated that Josh is a combination of two people he knows. [5] It is implied that he has a sick mother, as he takes strong medication and has a history of heart attacks. As an adult, Josh works for a comics news website, hoping this will be a stepping stone to becoming a comics writer, despite his fiction being repeatedly rejected by publishers and his former college professor.

Jerome Titus "Jerry" Stokes Jr. is one of the four main characters in Evan Dorkin's Eltingville comics and the animated pilot for Welcome to Eltingville. He works as the Fantasy and Role-Playing Game Secretary for the Eltingville Club and frequently assumes the crucial role of Dungeon Master (DM) for the group in their tabletop role-playing games.

Appearance Jerry is clearly the tallest (except in the pilot, where Josh is taller) and the lankiest member of the Eltingville Club. He has blond, fine, and somewhat messy hair, styled similarly to Bill Dickey's. His usual outfit throughout the series consists of a green-striped long-sleeved sweater and jeans, although there are variations (such as in the comic "Bring Me The Head Of Boba Fett"). Notably, Jerry's eyes are usually closed or simply slits, though there are exceptions in some panels of the comic. Personality Jerry is unique compared to his peers: he is portrayed as having a docile and affable demeanor. He is frequently the target of bullying and ridicule from the other members, especially Bill, often due to his different interests or his less energetic personality. Despite being caught up in the club's often chaotic antics, Jerry occasionally attempts to be the voice of reason, though usually without success. Jerry is also deeply interested in fantasy worlds and role-playing games, and has an interest in anime and manga. [1]

Due to his affable nature and fear of confrontation, Jerry tends to be people-pleasers. He dislikes the seriousness with which the other three club members approach their fandom, but he also doesn't want to lose his only friends. He is said to have numerous fictional love interests. His musical tastes include video game soundtracks, 8-bit/chiptune music, progressive rock, J-pop, and Evan Dorkin has also mentioned that Jerry likes Vocaloid songs (and is in love with Megurine Luka). [2] In some panels of the comic, Jerry is shown to be ambidextrous.
