Exclusive: We’ve Got In-Progress Pieces From the Hellraiser: Anthology Graphic Novel
Today marks the wide release of Clive Barker’s latest release, the Hellraiser: Anthology graphic novel, which includes several stories from writers such as Ben Meares, Matt Murray, Christian Francis, David Ian McKendry, Rebekah McKendry, and Barker himself. The collection features art from Daniele Serra, Sam Shearon, and Riley Schmitz, the last of whom has sent Dread Central a few pieces of art that include, “…a bunch of sketches, early passes at the characters in color and the pages revealed already but in ink form.” We’re proud to post these pieces and are thrilled that we get to share them for the world to see! After all, I’ll always take more Hellraiser if it comes from the mind of Barker any day!
If you want to follow Riley’s work, you can see more of his stuff on Twitter and Instagram.
Hellraiser: Anthology will be priced at $35, with copies signed by Clive Barker priced at $65, and the digital download version will be priced at $15. The 90-page collection, which features 11 original Hellraiser tales, is available now in hardcover and digital options via Barker’s webstore.
Mark Miller, Vice President of Clive Barker’s Seraphim, Inc., and a contributing writer, adds, “I’ve been a part of a number of Hellraiser projects throughout my years with Clive. And this is easily the most personal project I’ve seen pass through these walls. It’s as lovingly curated as it is delightfully grotesque. I’m proud to have my [work] in its pages.”
“We had a very simple mission statement at the beginning of our journey with this comic. We set out to create something with no limits and no censorship that everyone involved, as both creatives and fans of the Hellraiser mythos, would be proud of,” adds Ben Meares, Editor-in-Chief of Seraphim Comics.
