10 Horror Comics Worse Than Your Nightmares
7. Nailbiter
A serial killer who gets his kicks from chewing on his victims' fingernails. And somehow, the nailbiter - Edward Charles Warren - is only scratching the surface of it all. The small American town of Buckaroo, Oregon, has produced sixteen of the US's greatest (or worst) serial killers, most infamously and recently Warren himself.
Joshua Williamson and Mike Henderson is lighter in tone than most of the hardcore horror comics on this list - it's more of a horror comedy at times - but it's not one to shy away from the grotesque and the nightmarish. A cross between The X-Files and Twin Peaks, it uses its core conceit to introduce serial killer after serial killer, each weirder than the last. None get under the skin like Warren's Nailbiter though.
His modus operandi is straight out of readers' worst nightmares, and Henderson and William exploit that for all it's worth. And you thought chewing your own nails was a bad habit.
