Leon Kinski

Leon Kinski is a character inhabiting the monstrous underground sanctuary of Midian, the hidden community of shape-shifters and outcasts known as the Nightbreed, drawn from Clive Barker's dark horror mythology and adapted into comics under Marvel's Epic imprint.

Born into the dark imaginative world of Clive Barker, Leon Kinski made his debut in 1990's Clive Barker's Night Breed #1 — a Copper/Modern Age creation shaped by the formidable team of Alan Grant, John Wagner, and Jim Baikie under the Marvel/Epic banner. Over a run stretching into 1993, Leon carved out a place in one of comics' most atmospheric horror universes, sharing pages with compelling figures like Aaron Boone, Narcisse, and Peloquin across titles including the intense Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad. With around 20 catalogued appearances, he's a rewarding find for fans who love the era when Marvel's Epic imprint was pushing horror comics into genuinely adult, literary territory — a character whose world is as rich and strange as Barker's imagination itself.
