Baphomet

Baphomet is a mysterious figure from the dark horror world of Clive Barker's Nightbreed mythology, inhabiting Midian alongside the monstrous Cabal — outcasts and creatures hiding from humanity in Clive Barker's signature blend of gothic horror and dark fantasy.

Emerging from the darkly imaginative world of Clive Barker's horror mythology, Baphomet made their comics debut in Clive Barker's Night Breed #2 in 1990, brought to life by the formidable creative team of Alan Grant, John Wagner, and Jim Baikie under the Marvel banner. A creature of the early Modern Age, this figure inhabits one of comics' most atmospheric horror universes, sharing shadowy pages with the likes of Aaron Boone, Peloquin, and the denizens of the Cabal across Night Breed and the crossover epic Hellraiser Nightbreed - Jihad. With only 13 catalogued appearances, Baphomet is a rare and tantalizing presence — the kind of deep-cut character that rewards devoted horror fans who love digging into the stranger, more gothic corners of Marvel's early '90s output. If Barker's nightmarish vision of outcasts and monsters speaks to you, this is a character well worth tracking down.
