Publication history
editCreated by filmmaker and horror/fantasy novelist Clive Barker, Saint Sinner was published for seven issues (cover-dated Oct. 1993 - April 1994). Written by Elaine Lee, it was drawn by Max Douglas for the first four issues. Richard Pace penciled issue #5, with inks by Douglas. Larry Brown drew the final two issues.[1]
Lee also wrote a Saint Sinner prose short story in the final release of the Razorline imprint, Ectokid Unleashed (Oct. 1994), a 48-page one-shot starring the title character of another Razorline comic.[2]
Clive Barker called Saint Sinner "just a wild one, the series which hopefully will press the limits of what comics can do".[3]
