Primal: From the Cradle to the Grave

A single, dense issue from Dark Horse (1992), Primal: From the Cradle to the Grave is a horror-fantasy one-shot anchored by the visionary mind of Clive Barker, with scripting by D. G. Chichester and Erik Saltzgaber. The story is brought to visceral life through the singular, painted style of artist John Van Fleet, whose work gives the book a haunting, textured atmosphere. It stands as a stark, standalone artifact of early-90s Dark Horse, showcasing Barker's signature blend of grotesque imagination and philosophical dread in a compact, self-contained narrative.
