Clocksmith

Clocksmith ticks into existence in the pages of Saint Sinner #1 (1993), a creation of writer Elaine Lee and artist Max Douglas born at the crossroads of Marvel's Copper and Modern Ages — a moment when the publisher was pushing into darker, stranger corners of its universe. With only four catalog appearances across the book's brief run, Clocksmith is a rare find, sharing those shadowy pages with an intriguing cast that includes Angel, Runesmith, Soulsmith, and Unlockingsmith. Short-lived series with tight, distinctive rosters like this one have a way of becoming cult favorites, and for collectors who love hunting the overlooked edges of the Marvel cosmos, Clocksmith is exactly the kind of enigmatic figure worth tracking down.
