Mister Rictus

Mister Rictus stepped onto the Image Comics stage in 2004 — a Modern Age creation whose very name promises something unsettling and theatrical. With a catalog presence that's genuinely rare, this enigmatic figure keeps striking company: sharing pages with the likes of Kurr, Wesley Gibson, and Solar Man across appearances in Savage Dragon and The Top Cow Convention Sketchbook 2004. Short runs can mean cult status, and a character this distinctively named, born from the convention sketchbook circuit and dropped into the kinetic world of Image's interconnected universe, carries the kind of scarcity that makes completists sit up straight. Three appearances, one memorable name — sometimes that's all it takes to leave a mark.
