Face

Born in the darkest corner of the Copper Age, Face made their chilling debut in Clive Barker's Hellraiser #1 (1989), brought into being by the formidable creative pairing of Jan Strnad and Bernie Wrightson — a collaboration that signals serious horror craft from the very first page. Published under Marvel's mature-readers banner through the early nineties, this character inhabits one of comics' most genuinely unsettling corners, sharing those nightmarish pages with the likes of Pinhead, Elliott Spencer, and other denizens of Barker's infernal mythology. Face surfaces across the core series as well as companion volumes like Book of the Damned and the Posterbook, making them a recurring presence in this richly expanded hellscape. With Wrightson's legendary horror artistry behind their creation, Face is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards collectors willing to venture into the shadows.
