About the series
From 1989 to 1993, Marvel Comics unleashed a 20-issue series expanding Clive Barker's Hellraiser mythos, with Erik Saltzgaber, Larry Wachowski, and R. J. M. Lofficier among the key writers and Scott Hampton, Joe Barruso, and Denys Cowan providing the haunting visuals. The series delves into the dark cosmology of the Cenobites, following characters like Elliott Spencer, Pinhead, and the enigmatic Leviathan as they navigate a world of pain, pleasure, and supernatural bargains. A crucial bridge between Barker's original film and the broader Hellraiser lore, this run gave the franchise a deeper, more intricate narrative than the movies alone offered.
