Clive Barker's Book of the Damned – Marvel Epic – 1991–1993 – #1–4

📘 Series Summary

Expanding on the mythos established in the Hellraiser films and the Epic Comics monthly series, Clive Barker's Book of the Damned is a 4-issue Limited Series that functions as a "Hellraiser Companion." Designed as a series of diabolical journals and research notebooks, the series provides deep-lore insights into the rumored existence of the Cenobites and the Labyrinthine world of Hell.

The series features a stellar lineup of writers, including Larry Wachowski (The Matrix), and an incredible array of mixed-media and fine artists such as Bill Sienkiewicz, Dave McKean, John Bolton, and Jon J. Muth. From the secret journals of Philip LeMarchand—the architect of the puzzle boxes—to the diabolical "Revelation of Johnny John," this series is an atmospheric, experimental dive into horror. Each issue is a prestige-style artifact, blending prose, technical illustrations of the Lament Configuration, and haunting painted art to build a comprehensive guide to Barker's infernal vision.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • A complete 4-issue limited series that serves as the definitive encyclopedia for the Hellraiser comic book universe.
  • Features early writing by Larry Wachowski, years before the debut of The Matrix.
  • Incredible cover art by Simon Bisley (#1) and Tristan Schane (#4).
  • Showcases experimental interior art from titans of the medium including Bill Sienkiewicz, Dave McKean, and Kent Williams.
  • Includes detailed "technical" research on the Lament Configuration and the architecture of Hell.
  • A Prestige Format production by Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, emphasizing high-quality paper and mature content.
