Clive Barker's Night Breed #16

Jul 1992 · Marvel · 2.25 USD; 2.70 CAD
“[Rawhead Rex: Return of the King Part Four of Four:] Hymn to Rawhead”

In "Hymn to Rawhead," the nightmare continues as Leah returns from the dead to bear Rawhead Rex’s daughter, setting off a chain of violent, grotesque events. With Bloodybones crawling through Rawhead’s body in search of his son Max, and Eigerman’s brutal rampage ending in a watery grave, the swamp itself becomes a battleground. As Cynthia and Leah join the Night Breed to protect their young, the line between monster and protector blurs in this chilling finale of the four-part saga. Art by Dan Lawlis and Ricardo Villagrán, with cover by John Rheaume, brings Clive Barker’s twisted vision to life in this 1992 Marvel classic.

Leah comes back from the dead and gives birth to Rawhead Rex's daughter. Bloodybones works his way into Rawhead's mouth and down to his stomach, where he finds his son Max, and they manage to make Rawhead vomit, and escape. Meanwhile, Eigerman shows up, kills Mater and Vincam, and then gets eaten by alligators, along with Kinder. Rawhead is pulled down into the swamp by dead body parts. Cynthia and Leah join the Night Breed to look after the Night Breed children.
