The Yattering and Jack

Clive Barker and Steve Niles co-wrote this single-issue horror comic from Eclipse, with John Bolton’s lush, painterly art bringing the tale to chilling life. It adapts one of Barker’s own short stories, pitting a demonic imp against a stubborn, unwittingly defiant human in a battle of wills that’s as darkly funny as it is unsettling. A compact, atmospheric one-shot, it stands as a memorable early collaboration between Barker and Niles, and a showcase for Bolton’s signature style.
