Dr. K.C. McRory

A supporting fixture in the gritty world of Sam and Twitch, Dr. K.C. McRory made their debut in the very first issue of Brian Michael Bendis and Angel Medina's celebrated Image series in 1999 — a crime-noir corner of the Spawn universe that earned serious critical attention at the turn of the millennium. Across the series' run, McRory keeps company with detectives Sam Burke and Twitch Williams, as well as a cast of sharp, street-level characters that made this book feel more like prestige crime fiction than standard superhero fare. With 17 catalog appearances concentrated in that tight 1999–2001 window, McRory is the kind of recurring presence that rewards readers who dig into the full run rather than just the headline names. If you love your comics grounded, atmospheric, and character-dense, this is exactly the world — and the supporting cast — worth exploring.
