Chalkis

Born into the darkest corridors of Clive Barker's horror mythology, Chalkis debuted in 1991's Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad #1, a Copper/Modern Age creation from the minds of D. G. Chichester and Paul Johnson, published under Marvel's short-lived but memorably unsettling Barker imprint. This is a character who moves through some genuinely infernal company — sharing pages with Pinhead, Leviathan, and Alastor across titles like Clive Barker's Hellraiser and the lore-rich Book of the Damned companion series. With only a handful of appearances, Chalkis is a rare, deep-cut figure for the dedicated collector who wants to go beyond the marquee names and explore the full, strange breadth of Barker's comic universe. If you love the era when Marvel dared to publish genuinely transgressive horror, this is exactly the kind of obscure gem worth hunting down.
