Sheriff Root

Sheriff Root stepped out of the pages of Preacher #1 in 1995, the boundary-pushing DC/Vertigo series that Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon unleashed on an unsuspecting comics world. A small-town lawman dropped into one of the most audacious, irreverent narratives the Copper/Modern Age had to offer, he shares those wild pages with an unforgettable cast — the legendary Saint of Killers, the sharp-shooting Tulip O'Hare, and the vampire Cassidy among them. His catalog footprint may be modest, but in Preacher's company, even a brief presence carries serious weight.
