Wild African-American rock and roll singer from the 1950s, in the "Wild Night in Tiger-Town" story of comic book Lloyd Llewellyn Special #1 (December 1988), written and drawn by Daniel Clowes.
He is a veiled version of real wild 50s rocker Esquerita, but his name evokkes both Howlin' Wolf and Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
While on tour, Thurston runs into a local band that idolizes him, The Payne Brothers.
