Dr. Casey Gioeli

Born into the dark, imaginative world of Clive Barker's Hellraiser at Marvel Comics, Dr. Casey Gioeli made her debut in 1991 — a product of the Copper Age's appetite for horror that pushed superhero publishers into genuinely unsettling territory. Created by Nicholas Vince and the incomparable illustrator John Bolton, she inhabits a series where the walls between worlds are terrifyingly thin, sharing pages with the likes of Pinhead and Elliott Spencer. With only a handful of appearances, she's a rare, collector-worthy find — the kind of character who rewards readers willing to dig into one of comics' most atmospheric horror anthologies.
