Pinhead

A short-lived but intense 5-issue series from KMK Productions, launched in 1988, Pinhead brought the iconic horror villain from Clive Barker's Hellraiser franchise into comics. The series is most closely associated with writer D.G. Chichester and artist Brian Stelfreeze, who captured the Cenobite's grim, otherworldly aesthetic. While brief, this series stands as an early, direct comic adaptation of the character, predating the more extensive Hellraiser comics from Epic and Marvel. It matters as a cult artifact for fans of the franchise, offering a standalone glimpse into the puzzle box's dark mythology.
