Runesmith

Runesmith stepped onto the scene in 1993 as part of Marvel's ambitious Razorline imprint, debuting in Razorline: The First Cut #1 courtesy of James Robinson and Steve Skroce — a creative pedigree that signals this character was built with real craft and intention. A creature of the early Modern Age, Runesmith inhabits a corner of the Marvel universe that felt genuinely distinctive, sharing pages with intriguing figures like Saint Sinner, Kento Canto, and the wonderfully named Mish-Mash across titles including Saint Sinner and the Ectokid series. With only eleven catalog appearances across a short 1993–1994 window, Runesmith is a rare find — the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the curious collector willing to dig into one of Marvel's most underexplored experimental eras.
