“Taste the Darkness”
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.
