Who is Digger?

Origin Roderick Krupp is gravedigger gone bad and normally resides in the Tower of Shadows . Not much is known about him or why his skin is green. But he does tell stories of burying people alive and killing them. These actions gave him the name Digger. The Shroud contacted and asked Digger to join the Night Shift . While with the Night Shift, Digger is shown burying people up to their necks, not completely. It is unclear whether this was intentional (and perhaps an attempt at making the subject matter a bit less grisly and a bit more family friendly), or if his work was just unfinished. Creation Digger was created by Jim Steranko and first appeared in Tower of Shadows issue 1 (1969).
