Sterling Gibson

"Sometimes, the myth... And we are talking about a genuinely old, strong story here... Sometimes the myth feels a need to evolve further, to be born anew, so it seeds it's own hidden evolutionary challenges. These challenges come straight from the subconscious, like landmines one sets in their own past, ready to blow up everything when one forgets they exist... And finally steps on them. This does not happen because the story is old and weak... But because it knows it needs a workout, a new way to steel itself, to grow new muscles, new teeth, and to let the old, crooked incisors fall out, or if need be-- tear them out with it's own bare hands'. Will you use your myth to help mine grow?"

- Sterling to Antoine.

Sterling Gibson is a character in Image Comics' Wolf. He works as a mob boss and is the boss of both Simmons and Hagen.

Issue 1
Simmons and Hagen deliver Antoine Wolfe to Sterling. He talks with Antoine about myths and killing people. Antoine tells him that he has no problem with killing people, but only if they threaten him or make him angry, and that he loves myths. Sterling then shows his racist side, stating that African-American people aren't known to be controlled in terms of killing people.

He then goes on to talk about how he killed a woman. Antoine thinks in his head that Sterling knows more than he had previously thought and that he'll have him killed right after he solves the case. Sterling then says that Simmons will give him a file on his contract tomorrow and that Antoine must burn the file after he has read it. He then shakes his hand and Antoine walks out.
