☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis third volume in Checker's 'Collected Best' series gathers a selection of stories from the early 1990s Hellraiser comic series, which expanded on Clive Barker's Cenobite mythology. The collection features tales of pain, pleasure, and the Lament Configuration from various writers and artists who contributed to the franchise's comic run. It serves as a sampler of the darker corners of the Hellraiser universe as adapted for the page.
In "Demons to Some, Angels to Others," the fervent leader of the Christian Army Fellowship summons divine intervention, only to find himself face to face with something far beyond his understanding—entities both terrifying and transcendent. The line between holy and unholy blurs as his desperate prayer unleashes forces that defy belief.
In These Blue Depths Lie Hell plunges Tony and his two friends into a submerged mystery when their search for a legendary shipwreck pulls them into a forgotten past. As the ocean's depths reveal more than sunken gold, Tony finds himself facing the ancient horror of his ancestor's battle against the Cenobite Hunger.
In "The Warm Red," Maureen finds herself trapped in a nightmarish ordeal when her attempt to buy a house takes a sinister turn—she’s drugged and kidnapped by Brian, who plans to sacrifice her to the grotesque entity Stapleface. As the walls close in, Maureen must summon every ounce of will to survive, turning the tables in a desperate fight for her life.
In "Birth Rite," Steve and Cynthia attempt to rekindle their failing marriage by using the Lament Configuration, only to awaken a Cenobite whose presence leaves Cynthia unconscious and inexplicably pregnant. The story unfolds with a creeping dread as the couple confronts the horrifying consequences of their desperate choice, unraveling the boundaries between love, pain, and the unknown.
In "Firetrap," Steve races to his family home, desperate to stop his cousin—whom he's long seen as unstable—from killing his own father. What he discovers inside is far worse than madness, a nightmare that defies reason and blurs the line between blood and horror.
In "Glitter and Go," Alex investigates a disturbing wave of suicides—people leaping from skyscrapers, some vanishing without a trace—while the city’s skyline glimmers with an unsettling, unnatural light. As the mystery deepens, Alex uncovers a pattern that feels less like coincidence and more like something far more deliberate, pulling them into a world where the edge of the world might be closer than they thought.
In "The Sweet Science," world heavyweight boxing champion Billy Moore seeks a real challenge—until he accidentally summons a Cenobite who answers in the most unexpected way: in the ring. As the brutal match unfolds, the line between sport and damnation blurs in a fight that tests more than just strength.
