Leviathan

Leviathan is the god-like ruler of Hell in Clive Barker's Hellraiser mythology — an immense, diamond-shaped entity of absolute darkness that governs the Cenobites and the labyrinthine realm known as the Configuration or Lemarchand's Box leads souls toward.

Emerging from the darkest corners of Clive Barker's nightmare mythology, Leviathan made its chilling debut in Clive Barker's Hellraiser #3 in 1990, brought into comics form by R. J. M. Lofficier and John Ridgway under the Marvel imprint. This is a Copper/Modern Age creation steeped in the rich, transgressive horror of the Hellraiser universe, sharing its infernal pages with some of the most iconic figures in horror comics — Pinhead, Elliott Spencer, and the Female Cenobite among them. Across Clive Barker's Hellraiser, Pinhead, and the lore-deepening Clive Barker's Book of the Damned: A Hellraiser Companion, Leviathan occupies a rarefied place at the very heart of this franchise's cosmology. For collectors and horror devotees who want to go deeper than the surface scares and into the grand, terrible architecture of Barker's vision, Leviathan is an essential presence worth seeking out.
