His parents were gypsies and believers of the occult, so Omar Lennyx carried this natural instinct of snooping out monsters all the way into his adult life and into the Secret Service. From there, he became the chief detective of an elite organization called the the Division of Paranormal/Supernatural Investigations. Often alongside his protege’ Butch Parks, Lennyx travels all around the globe tracking down werewolves, vampires and other horrors with an iron will and a barrage of high-tech accessories.
Created by writer/artist Sterling Clark in November 1987, Omar Lennyx made his debut in a one-shot comic book titled The Files of Omar Lennyx: Blood Seekers.The comic was followed up by two novels: Macabre Manifesto: The Journals of Omar Lennyx and its sequel, Macabre Memoirs: The Adventures of Omar Lennyx. The latter book includes a bonus feature: The Omar Lennyx Scrapbook–A glimpse into the creative process with never-before published art and early Lennyx character interpretations compiled by the author.
“Clark blends the creepy stuff with sly bits of humor, adding yet another level with the action sequences-all of this while never losing sight of horror’s ability to present monsters as metaphors,” wrote Mark Dawidziak, author of Night Stalking: A 20th Anniversary Kolchak Companion.
