Cabal-Baphomet

Cabal-Baphomet is a horror figure born from the crossover of Clive Barker's Nightbreed and Hellraiser mythologies, inhabiting the dark intersection of those two supernatural worlds in Marvel's early-1990s horror comics.

Few characters carry a name as immediately arresting as Cabal-Baphomet, a figure who emerged from the dark, imaginative collision of two of Clive Barker's most beloved horror universes in the early 1990s. Debuting in Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad #2 in 1991, created by D. G. Chichester and Paul Johnson, this character inhabits a corner of Marvel's horror output where the worlds of Nightbreed and Hellraiser bled into one another in genuinely unsettling ways. With only five catalogued appearances spread across Clive Barker's Night Breed and the Jihad crossover, Cabal-Baphomet is a rare and esoteric find — sharing shadowy pages with the likes of Aaron Boone, Peloquin, and Leon Kinski. For collectors with a taste for Copper Age horror at its most ambitious and strange, this is exactly the kind of obscure gem worth hunting down.
