Captain J. W. Eigerman

Born into the dark, visceral world of Clive Barker's Night Breed, Captain J. W. Eigerman made his entrance in 1990 — right at the height of the Copper Age's appetite for horror-tinged, boundary-pushing comics. Published by Marvel and crafted by the formidable team of Alan Grant, John Wagner, and Jim Baikie, this character inhabits a series steeped in Barker's signature atmosphere of dread and the uncanny. Eigerman shares that unsettling world with a compelling cast including Aaron Boone, the sinister Dr. Philip Decker, and others who populate Night Breed's shadowy corners. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, he's a collector's footnote that rewards those who dig deep into one of Marvel's more gloriously offbeat horror ventures.
