Demonhunter

Born in the early 1990s from the creative partnership of Gino Udina, Alfio Buscaglia, and Giacomo Danubio, Demonhunter burst onto the Italian comics scene with Demon Hunter #1 in 1993, a product of Xenia Edizioni that arrived right at the cusp of the Modern Age with plenty of dark, genre-charged atmosphere to spare. Over a run stretching through 1996, this character carved out a niche across the pages of Demon Hunter and Bad Moon, accumulating 44 catalog appearances alongside a compelling cast that includes Michael Sloane, Jessica Moretti, Ellen Lang, capitano Duncan Forster, and Frank McNolan. It's the kind of Italian genre comics publishing that deserves far more attention from collectors with an eye for the international fringes of the medium — a moody, self-contained world built by passionate creators outside the mainstream spotlight. If you love hunting down the hidden corners of Copper and Modern Age comics, Demonhunter is exactly the sort of discovery that makes the search worthwhile.
