Hunger

A denizen of Clive Barker's Hellraiser universe, Hunger is a horror figure inhabiting the same nightmarish realm as the Cenobites and Leviathan, published under Marvel's mature-readers imprint as part of the anthology series adapting Barker's dark mythology.

Born from the darkest corners of Clive Barker's nightmare mythology, Hunger made their unsettling debut in Clive Barker's Hellraiser #2 in 1990, brought to life by the creative team of Scott Hampton and Mark Kneece during comics' Copper/Modern Age. Published under Marvel's mature-readers banner, this figure inhabits a world shared with some of horror's most iconic presences — Pinhead, the Female Cenobite, and the enigmatic Leviathan among them — making for genuinely harrowing company. Across a compact but memorable run through the early '90s, Hunger surfaces in the series' companion volumes as well, cementing a place in one of the most atmospheric licensed horror universes comics has ever produced. For collectors drawn to the boundary-pushing, Barker-infused darkness that defined this era, even ten appearances can leave a mark.
