The Inquisitor

Emerging from the darker corners of 1990s independent publishing, The Inquisitor made their debut in Verotik's Igrat #1 in 1996, courtesy of creator Eric Canete — a striking entry into the mature, boundary-pushing world that Verotik carved out for itself during the Copper/Modern Age. Across a surprisingly enduring span stretching all the way to 2017, this figure turns up throughout Verotik's interconnected universe, sharing pages with a compelling cast of infernal characters — Igrat, Dalkiel, Satanika, Morella, and Naekith — across titles like Satanika, Igrat, and Infernals. Six catalog appearances may sound modest, but in Verotik's tight, cult-beloved lineup, that kind of recurring presence across multiple series signals a character woven into the fabric of this publisher's dark mythology. For collectors who love the wild, uncompromising edge of '90s independent horror comics, The Inquisitor is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Verotik's catalog so rewarding.
