Sin Eater was the name of a minor villain in late-1970s/mid-1980s Marvel Comics stories.Leigh Blackmore's story "Soul Food" (a script for one of the Deadlocke and Doc Marten comic stories by Christopher Sequeira) is about a sin eating ceremony.John Harrison's story "Strange Great Sins" (part of the Viriconium sequence), is about a sin eater who recalls the life of his uncle while performing a sin eating ceremony for the family of a small girl who has died. The fare laid out for this sin-eater went well beyond bread and beer.
An episode of Rod Serling's Night Gallery, aired February 23, 1972, was entitled "The Sins of the Fathers." It took place in 19th-century Wales, and involved a young man (played by Richard Thomas) who is forced to play the role of sin-eater at the wake of his father (who had been sin-eater for the area).
