Clive Barker, Fred Burke, and Charles Wagner brought a visceral, horror-tinged edge to this 1989–1992 Eclipse series, with striking visuals from artists like James Pearson, Klaus Janson, and Michael Davis. Running just five issues, Tapping the Vein explored the dark corridors of the human psyche and the supernatural, offering a grim, anthology-style journey through terror and obsession. It remains a cult touchstone for fans of mature, boundary-pushing horror comics from the late-80s independent scene.
