Saint of Killers

Few figures in modern comics carry the sheer, cold weight of the Saint of Killers, the unstoppable force unleashed on the world of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Preacher when it launched in 1995. Born from the Copper/Modern Age's appetite for dark, mythic storytelling, this towering presence has haunted the pages of Preacher and its collected editions for the better part of three decades, sharing a universe with Jesse Custer, Cassidy, and Tulip O'Hare — some of comics' most unforgettable outlaws. His appearances stretch across Judge Dredd Megazine and Absolute Preacher as well, placing him in remarkably varied company. If you know Preacher, you already feel the dread his name inspires; if you don't, consider this your invitation to find out why.
