Sheriff Crane

Sheriff Crane is the local law enforcement officer of Buckaroo, Oregon — a small town with a disturbing legacy of producing serial killers. She maintains an uneasy order in a community where the macabre and the mundane constantly collide.

Small-town authority has rarely felt so loaded with dread as it does in Sheriff Crane, who stepped onto the page in Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson's Nailbiter #1 in 2014 — one of Image Comics' most unsettling Modern Age crime-horror launches. Keeping uneasy company with the likes of Nicholas Finch, the infamous Edward Warren, and Agent Abigail Barker, Crane anchors the chilling world of Buckaroo, Oregon, where the law and the macabre press uncomfortably close together. With appearances across Nailbiter and Image Firsts: Nailbiter, this is a character who belongs to one of the sharpest, most atmospheric creator-owned series the modern era has produced — essential reading for anyone who likes their comics with a genuine chill running through them.
