Gehenna

Born into the darkest corners of Clive Barker's shared horror mythology, Gehenna made her entrance in 1991's Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad #1, conjured by the creative team of D. G. Chichester and Paul Johnson at Marvel during comics' Copper Age. Her nine catalogued appearances span some of the most infernal real estate in the Barker universe — pages haunted by the likes of Pinhead, Elliott Spencer, Leviathan, and Balberith — placing her squarely in elite, nightmarish company. She surfaces across Pinhead, Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad, and the essential Clive Barker's Book of the Damned: A Hellraiser Companion, making her a figure worth hunting down for any serious collector of Marvel's brief, gloriously lurid excursion into Barker's hell. Rare in count but rich in atmosphere, Gehenna is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds you how strange and ambitious the early '90s horror comics landscape truly was.
