Old Beekeeper

A quietly unsettling presence lurking in the shadows of Image Comics' acclaimed horror series Nailbiter, Old Beekeeper materialized in 2014 as part of Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's Modern Age masterwork exploring the dark mysteries of Buckaroo, Oregon. With only a handful of catalog appearances, this is a character whose impact is felt more in atmosphere than in page count — the kind of enigmatic figure that a great horror comic deploys with precision rather than abundance. Sharing pages with the likes of Edward Warren, Nicholas Finch, and Sheriff Crane, Old Beekeeper inhabits one of indie horror comics' most richly sinister corners, and for devoted Nailbiter fans, every appearance counts.
