Authors: Victor LaValle, Ben Meares, Mark Miller
Artists: Colin Lorimer, Carlos Magno, Conor Nolan
Cover Artists: A: Conor Nolan B: Kim Herbst (Incentive) C: Sam Shearon (Incentive)
WHY WE LOVE IT: 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.
WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT: HELLRAISER: BESTIARY will pick up
where classic horror comics anthologies like Tales From The Crypt, Vault of
Horror, and the more recent Flinch left off. And not only will some of comics’
rising stars, such as Ed Brisson (Sheltered), and Michael Moreci (CURSE), get a chance to open
the puzzle box in this series, but the first issue features the comics debut of
award-winning novelist Victor LaValle (The Devil in Silver, Big Machine).
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: 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 (CLIVE BARKER’S NEXT TESTAMENT) and
Ben Meares (HELLRAISER ANNUAL 2013), and drawn by Carlos Magno
(DEATHMATCH),
where a group of mercenaries are hired to steal Pinhead’s pins. Also, superstar
author Victor LaValle teams with artist Colin Lorimer (CURSE) 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.

trend with his lyrical, horrific, and wholly unique take on Lucifer.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Luci Jennifer Inacio Das Neves (most
people just call her “Lucifer”) is a supernatural thief-for-hire, stealing
wondrous objects from the dark denizens of the netherworld for her
mentor/mother figure, Val Brisendine. But when Lucifer accidentally unleashes a
terrible evil from one of the paintings hanging in Val’s art gallery, will any
of the tricks up her sleeve be enough to stop it?
