Pinhead Facsimile Edition #1

Clive Barker’s star of the silver screen leaps to the page in this action-packed issue!

Experience the first appearance of Pinhead in comic book form with this ultimate collector’s item.

Something is amiss in the underbelly of Hell. A mysterious and powerful new foe forces Pinhead to take a journey through time. Best known for tearing people’s souls apart, it won’t be easy for Pinhead to bring down an ancient evil called the Aggregate in this stunning reproduction of the original comic!

From the depraved mind of New York Times–bestselling horror maestro Clive Barker with writer D. G. Chichester (Daredevil, Terror Inc) with illustrations by bold, visionary artist Dario Carrasco (Star Wars, Tales of the Jedi) comes Pinhead’s first-ever solo outing straight out of the cauloid frames of the original Hellraiser films.

If you’ve ever yearned to explore the inner workings of Barker’s detailed Hellscape and how Pinhead and his Cenobites operate within it, then this is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for!
