Who is Yama Vidatu?

Born from the darkly fertile imaginations of D. G. Chichester and Paul Johnson in 1991, Yama Vidatu stepped into the Copper/Modern Age horror landscape through the pages of Hellraiser Nightbreed – Jihad #1 — a crossover that smashed together two of Clive Barker's most beloved nightmare mythologies under the Marvel banner. With only five catalog appearances spread across Jihad, Clive Barker's Hellraiser, and the lore-rich Book of the Damned companion series, this is a rare, deep-cut figure who shares hellish company with the likes of Pinhead, the Female Cenobite, and Leviathan itself. That rarefied, limited presence is precisely what makes Yama Vidatu a tantalizing find for serious Barker devotees — a character woven into the very fabric of one of comics' most atmospheric horror universes, yet elusive enough to reward the dedicated collector who seeks them out.
