Hank Fairgold

Hank Fairgold is a central figure in the horror mystery series Nailbiter, set in Buckaroo, Oregon — a town notorious for producing serial killers. He is drawn into investigating the town's dark secrets alongside Sheriff Crane.

A man drawn into darkness from the very first page, Hank Fairgold made his debut in the landmark 2014 Image Comics series Nailbiter — Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's acclaimed modern horror mystery that hit the ground running with its very first issue. He moves through a world populated by unsettling figures like the Nailbiter himself, Sheriff Crane, and Raleigh Woods, placing him squarely in one of the Modern Age's most atmospheric and suspense-drenched titles. With Nailbiter #1 earning Image Firsts reprint status, Fairgold's debut carries the weight of a series that genuinely mattered to horror comics fans — a small but meaningful footnote in a book well worth hunting down.
