Descend Into Hell Again – Pinhead Returns With BOOM! Studios’ ‘Ultimate Hellraiser Collection’
by Brendan M. Allen
Legendary horror visionary Clive Barker returns to the dark, twisted world of Hellraiser with the release of Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1. The expansive new edition published by BOOM! Studios spans over 500 pages, offering fans and collectors a definitive continuation of 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.”
“We had a hell of a run when we first published Hellraiser comics back in 2011,” added Bryce Carlson, BOOM! Studios’ Deputy Publisher. “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.”
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.
Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 is perfect for anyone who missed the Hellraiser Leviathan’s Vault Kickstarter, which closed on March 19th, 2026. 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.
Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 is distributed by Penguin Random House and available for pre-order at your local comic shop or book store ahead of its release on November 24th, 2026.
