Clive Barker's Hellraiser #9
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the ninth story arc of Marvel's early-1990s Hellraiser series, continuing the dark mythology inspired by Clive Barker's original work. The narrative follows the ongoing struggles of characters like Pinhead, Elliott Spencer, and Leviathan, as well as newer figures such as Atkins and Jillian Eliot, as they navigate the horrors of the Cenobite realm and its human connections.
In "Closets," Pinhead infiltrates a high-stakes research lab under a false identity, quietly circling Dr. Casey Gioeli—a brilliant scientist racing to find a cure for AIDS. Written by Dwayne McDuffie and D. G. Chichester, with dynamic art by Denys Cowan and George Pratt, this 1991 Marvel issue blends psychological dread with a haunting, real-world urgency. The cover by Ovi Hondru captures the unsettling tension of the story’s chilling premise.
In *Clive Barker's Hellraiser* #9, Pinhead infiltrates a high-stakes research lab, drawn not by blood but by the mind of Dr. Casey Gioeli—a brilliant scientist racing against time to find a cure for AIDS. As he moves through the sterile halls and hidden corridors of the lab, his presence stirs something far more dangerous than fear: a connection that blurs the line between obsession and desire.
