BOOM! Studios invites horror fans to open the puzzle box and explore all-new tales of the LeMarchand Device with Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Bestiary, a new anthology-style limited series that picks up where classic horror anthologies like Tales from the Crypt and Vault of Horror left off.

Over the past three years, Clive Barker has re-imagined the Hellraiser mythos as only he could, building a long-form narrative that became one of the best-received horror comics in recent memory. Now, the Master of Horror takes us into his Bestiary for an anthology series—free of continuity, but full of shocking consequences. This series will feature comics’ rising stars like Ed Brisson and Michael Moreci, and the first issue will feature the comics debut of award-winning novelist Victor LaValle.

Step into the Bestiary for all-new tales of the LeMarchand Device and its guardians! This first issue contains the start of a six-part serial written by Mark Miller and Ben Meares, and drawn by Carlos Magno, where a team of mercenaries are hired to steal Pinhead’s pins. Also, superstar author Victor LaValle teams with artist Colin Lorimer to tell a story set on the outskirts of New York City, as a close-knit community is torn apart by the presence of the puzzle box.

Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Bestiary #1 arrives in comic shops on August 20th with a retail price of $3.99. The first issue will ship with a main cover by Conor Nolan and retailer incentive covers by Kim Herbst and Sam Shearon.
