Hellraiser 2013 Annual #1 Unleashed for Halloween
Halloween is a great day for tricks, treats and scares. It's also a good day for new comics, especially ones that trade in any or all of the above. Hellraiser is one such property and BOOM! Studios will be releasing Hellraiser 2013 Annual #1 in honor of the "hallowed" day. And the book will feature stores by Clive Barker, Ben Meares and Brandon Seifert and art by Jesús Hérvás and Janusz Ordon and a cover by menton3 featuring Elliott Spencer, Kirsty Cotton and Harry D’Amour.
In the extra-large special issue, the creators will delve even deeper into the mysteries of Leviathan and the war between the Hells. It's a key piece of the Hellraiser: The Dark Watch saga and the effects of the stories contained within will play out in upcoming issues.
Hellraiser 2013 Annual #1 will arrive in stores on October 30th and carries a retail price of $4.99 under Diamond order code AUG131135. Full press release below.
