Aeshma Deva

A creature born from the darkest corners of Clive Barker's mythology, Aeshma Deva made their chilling debut in 1991's Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad #1, conjured by D. G. Chichester and Paul Johnson during comics' Copper/Modern Age. Published under Marvel's short-lived but memorably unsettling Barker imprint, this figure inhabits a world of genuine horror prestige, sharing pages with icons like Pinhead and Elliott Spencer alongside infernal entities such as Charun, Gehenna, and Leviathan. With appearances spanning Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad, the lore-rich Clive Barker's Book of the Damned, and the Pinhead series, Aeshma Deva occupies a rare and coveted niche — a deep-cut denizen of one of horror comics' most atmospheric corners, well worth hunting down for any serious collector of the era's darker shelves.
