Green title version. Stories: Clive Barker. Art: P. Craig Russell; Scott Hampton. Painted cover: John Bolton. Clive Barker's nightmarish vision has changed the face of horror forever.

Then, Scott Hampton takes his acclaimed brush to work on "Pig Blood Blues," a tale of human mutilation and strange love in a reform school disintegrating into madness. 64 pages. Cover price $6.95.
