Barker has largely remained a writer, however writing screenplays for movies such as Underworld and Rawhead Rex. His work in films is largely experimental, surreal, and avant-garde, which makes it all the more impressive that he’s been able to amass such a cult following about himself. Another field that Barker has shown an interest in is comic books. In 1993, he achieved a lifelong dream of publishing a line of superhero comics when Marvel released Razorline, an imprint of comics based on Barker’s detailed ideas and character designs. These comics, which included titles such as Ectokid and Saint Sinner, also managed to gain a cult following.
