This year marks the 40th anniversary of Clive Barker’s The Hellbound Heart, the original novella that spawned the Hellraiser film franchise, and BOOM! Studios is celebrating this coming November with Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1. We’ve got the exclusive scoop.
Releasing November 24, 2026 from BOOM! Studios, Hellraiser Omnibus Volume 1 is an expansive new edition that collects over 500 pages, offering fans and collectors a definitive continuation of Clive Barker’s Hellraiser saga and bringing fresh life to legendary horror icon Pinhead and his army of Cenobites.
This upcoming omnibus assembles the complete 2011 Hellraiser #1-20 comic series and the Hellraiser Annual #1, all created under Clive 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.
“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,” Clive 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,” said Bryce Carlson, Boom’s 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.”
“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 being announced in the direct wake of the Hellraiser Leviathan’s Vault Kickstarter, which closed on March 19. BOOM! Studios explains, “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 preorder anywhere books are sold ahead of its release on November 24, 2026.
