About the series
The Butcher, a five-issue series launched by Zinco in 1991, follows a grizzled, supernatural vigilante as he hunts monstrous threats in a gritty urban landscape. While the series has remained a cult favorite with sporadic releases, its core appeal lies in its brutal, horror-tinged action and the stark, shadowy artwork most associated with its early issues. It matters as a distinctive, offbeat entry in the early-'90s indie comics boom, offering a lean, uncompromising take on the monster-hunter genre.
