Pedro Miramontes

Pedro Miramontes steps onto the scene in the pages of Image Comics' Nailbiter — Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's darkly compelling Modern Age series built around serial killers and small-town dread. Debuting in 2014's issue #9, Pedro moves through a world populated by unsettling figures like Edward Warren, the Nailbiter himself, and the enigmatic Blonde, which tells you something about the kind of atmosphere this book breathes. His appearances extend into the Nailbiter / Hack/Slash crossover territory, making him a small but genuine thread in one of Image's most stylishly macabre corners. For collectors drawn to the grittier, horror-inflected side of the Modern Age, Pedro is a quiet piece of a genuinely memorable puzzle.
