Clive Barker's Hellraiser #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeClive Barker's Hellraiser #1 (1989) kicks off with "The Canons of Pain," a chilling tale written by Jan Strnad and brought to life with haunting detail by Bernie Wrightson, whose pencils and inks define the series' grim aesthetic. When Maureen, trying to secure her home, is drugged and taken by Brian, she finds herself at the mercy of a ritual meant for Stapleface—but not all traps are meant to be followed. The cover, by John Bolton, captures the dread with a stark, unsettling image.
In "The Warm Red," Maureen finds herself trapped in a terrifying game of survival when her attempt to buy a house takes a sinister turn. Captured by Brian, she must outwit him before he can complete his ritual to Stapleface—though the true nature of her resistance remains as chilling as the moment itself.
