[7][8] In March 2015, a new series featuring The Hangman was announced under the Dark Circle Comics imprint.

The Hangman debuted in November 2015, written by Frank Tieri with art provided by Felix Ruiz.

[9] Dark Circle Comics Editor Alex Segura has described the new series as "Quentin Tarantino adapting a Stephen King novel.".

Bob Dickering becomes the Hangman after watching his brother die by the men he was trying to put behind bars.

He announces his presence by using a flashlight to shine an image of gallows on the nearest wall to a criminal he's caught in the act.

Dickering fights alongside such heroes as the Shield while doing battle against villains, most notably Madam Satan.

With minutes left to live, he is approached by a mysterious figure cloaked in the shadows offering him a way out of death.

He told Dickering that he could survive the hanging in return for hunting down all those who don't repent for the evil deeds they have committed.

A local tribal shaman found him and healed him as well as giving him a bag of magical charms and a raven whose eyes Eric could see through.

On his way back for the hit he is attacked by the Hangman (Robert Dickering) who proceeds to beat up Minetta and hang him from a street lamp.

Satan tells Minetta the story of the Hangmen and how they have been around for centuries collecting the souls of those who are deemed unworthy to remain existing.

[18] Michael Minetta appears in the second season of The CW series Riverdale as Sheriff Tom Keller's replacement in the investigation of Midge Klump's murder.
