Zinc

Zinc is a horror character inhabiting Clive Barker's Hellraiser universe, introduced in the comics continuation of Barker's dark mythology. Associated with The Harrowers, Zinc exists within a world defined by pain, demons, and the sinister influence of the Cenobites.

Zinc made their entrance into Clive Barker's darkly imaginative corner of the Marvel universe in 1992, debuting in Clive Barker's Hellraiser #17 — a title that was already one of the most distinctive horror comics of the early Modern Age. Brought to life by the creative team of Clive Barker, Anna Miller, and a young Alex Ross, this character went on to appear across both Hellraiser and Clive Barker's The Harrowers, sharing those harrowing pages with an evocative cast including Lavinia Claire, Dublin Morse, and Morte Mamme. With only eight catalog appearances across a tight 1992–1994 window, Zinc is a rare, atmospheric presence — exactly the kind of cult discovery that makes digging through Barker's Marvel horror output so rewarding for collectors who love their comics strange and genuinely unsettling.
