As reported by Bloody Disgusting, the legendary horror visionary returns to the dark, twisted world of Hellraiser with the release of Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1, an expansive new edition published by BOOM! Studios. This essential collection spans over 500 pages, offering fans and collectors a definitive continuation of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser saga and bringing fresh life to the iconic Cenobites and the enigmatic Pinhead.
“I’m delighted to be partnering with BOOM! once again to create comics and graphic novels that will introduce both wild new projects, in addition to creating radical new visions of the kind of dark mythologies I’ve always been known for,” Barker said. “There are a lot of doors waiting to be opened, and worlds of weird fantasy and horror waiting on the other side.”
Clive Barker is an internationally acclaimed English writer, filmmaker, and visual artist who rose to prominence in the 1980s with his groundbreaking short story collection Books of Blood, which established him as a leading figure in horror literature. His work has been adapted into numerous films, most notably the Hellraiser series as well as the Candyman series.
“We had a hell of a run when we first published Hellraiser comics back in 2011. That content is long out of print and hard to come by, but we’re reopening the Lament Configuration 15 years later and unleashing hell once again for all the incredibly patient fans out there.” - Bryce Carlson, Boom’s Deputy Publisher
Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Barker introducing the world to The Hellbound Heart, the original novella that spawned the Hellraiser film franchise, this omnibus assembles the complete 2011 Hellraiser #1-20 comic series and the Hellraiser Annual #1, all created under Barker’s close guidance and creative oversight. The series serves as a canonical continuation of the original story, forever redefining the legacy of the Hellraiser mythos in a richly imagined, meticulously crafted horror narrative.
The franchise has a broad and devoted fanbase, spanning Hellraiser novels, comics, films, merchandise, and more. Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 is perfect for anyone who missed the Hellraiser Leviathan's Vault Kickstarter, which closed on March 19. While the Kickstarter edition offers an expanded, premium experience with exclusive content for collectors, both editions deliver unique value, celebrating the Hellraiser legacy in complementary ways. Kickstarter backers will receive their deluxe edition copies and rewards ahead of the Fall release of Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1.
“This new collection is a must-have for fans of Clive Barker’s groundbreaking work and anyone passionate about dark fantasy and supernatural horror,” said Josh Hayes, VP of Sales & Marketing at BOOM! Studios. “Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 answers the demand from collectors and new readers alike, offering a rare chance to experience Barker’s visionary storytelling in a definitive format.”
Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 is distributed by Penguin Random House and available for preorder anywhere books are sold ahead of its release on November 24, 2026.
