Does anyone remember these magazines and the great artwork based on Clive Barker's scary and weird stories and films?

I started off buying one in the late 80's (book #2 ?)with graphic artwork of mangled Crusaders lying intertwined after a battle, and some weird demon talks with one of the survivors in a crypt.

But can I heck find it now...

I used to buy the Hellraiser series of comics (and also have other Barker inspired titles such as the adaptations of his Books of Blood short stories like Yattering and Jack, and Nightbreed) The series ran for a few years, and was published by Epic comics. There have been no new issues since around 1994, but with a proposed remake in the works I imagine someone like Dark Horse picking up the rights to the series again.

Best bet to get hold of back issues is to try Forbidden Planet (off the Moor) or Sheffield Space Center (Wicker) and ask if they have any back issues. Failing that, keep a look out for the next comic mart in town (usually at one of the Universities). I've padded out my old collections with a few mart-attacks!
