Mater

Born from the dark imagination of Clive Barker, Mater made their entrance in 1992's Clive Barker's Night Breed #13 — a Marvel title that brought the visceral, boundary-pushing horror of Barker's world into comics form. Emerging at the dawn of the Modern Age, this is a character who keeps genuinely unsettling company, sharing pages with the likes of Rawhead Rex and Bloodybones in one of the era's most atmospherically charged horror series. With only a handful of appearances in the catalog, Mater is a rare, deep-cut find for collectors drawn to Barker's uniquely nightmarish corner of the Marvel universe — the kind of obscure gem that rewards the dedicated horror fan willing to dig.
