☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the final issues of Marvel's original Clive Barker's Hellraiser series, continuing the dark, interconnected tales of Cenobites and their victims. Featuring the return of familiar faces like the detective duo of Winston Gage and Vera Wyshak, as well as the scheming Ovid and the monstrous Butterball, the stories delve deeper into the machinations of Leviathan and the labyrinthine horrors of Hell. The collection wraps up the series' long-running narrative threads with a focus on the cost of obsession and the thin line between pleasure and pain.
In "Taste the Darkness," Clive Barker’s Hellraiser #17 (1992) delivers a chilling origin moment as the ancient entity Morte Mamme awakens from her tomb, summoning seven souls to become the Harrowers—each granted power to oppose the Cenobites. With Alex Ross handling pencils, inks, and colors across both the interior and cover, the issue pulses with a gothic intensity that’s as visually striking as it is unsettling.
In "Taste the Darkness," Daphne finds herself face-to-face with the enigmatic Cenobite Whirl-Jack after unlocking the puzzle box with unsettling ease. Their conversation unfolds in a tense, intimate exchange that challenges both her resolve and his purpose, leading to a decision that could change everything—without her ever leaving the world she knows.
