J. W. Eigerman

Emerging from the dark, imaginative corners of Marvel's early-'90s horror output, J. W. Eigerman made his debut in Clive Barker's Night Breed #7 in 1991, brought to life by writer D. G. Chichester and artist Bret Blevins. This Copper/Modern Age figure inhabits one of comics' most atmospheric horror universes, sharing his unsettling world with the likes of Aaron Boone, Peloquin, Rawhead Rex, and Reverend Ashberry — a roster that tells you everything about the company he keeps. With seven catalog appearances concentrated in a short but intense 1991–1993 run, Eigerman is the kind of deep-cut character that rewards fans who love their horror comics with a literary edge and a genuinely dangerous atmosphere.
