Product Review
similar to old EC Comics morality tales, written with the dark poetry of early Neil Gaiman. -- Breakdowns, March 20, 2003
Barker's truly twisted, truly visionary visions brought to life. . . it's almost impossible not to at least look. -- Rue Morgue Magazine, March/April 2003
Comics stories ought to work visually as much or more than verbally, and horror stories usually cry out for visual pyrotechnics, which is what they got in the Hellraiser comics. --Booklist
If you're a fan of horror comics, get this collection. -- Optical Sloth, February 2003
Overall, the stories achieve to avoid the clichés so often found in horror. With an interesting amalgam of writers and artists, these tales, though most over a decade old, still don t quite sit well in the stomach. They question the world, and the hell beneath it. Jacob Malewitz --Paperback Reader
The writers in charge of the adaptations have managed to condense the stories without losing any of Barker's writing punch. -- ComicReaders.com, February 2003
