Book Reviews of Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Collected Best III
Book Review: Good, but nothing like the original
Summary: 3 Stars
The third collection of Hellraiser comics has, as always, Clive Barker's name in its title, but Barker himself hasn't contributed with any of the scripts. His only contribution is a short preface, where he expresses his great pride in having created the short story The Hellbound Heart which over the years has grown into a life of its own and gained millions of fans all over the world. In 2006 The Scarlet Letters will be published - Barker's return to the world of Hellraiser - and fans of Pinhead are already trembling in anticipation.
But until then, fans will have to do with whatever is available right now, and the comics will disappoint few if any or the real fans. None of the stories are of the quality of Barker's own stories, but it's not far from it, and in most cases the stories are as well-written as the drawings are beautiful. But not only that; in between every story the reader is treated with a little gallery of Hellraiser-based art, and these pieces are indeed a must for any fan of macabre art.
The story named "The Tontine" is by far the most interesting story in the collection, with its creepy storyline and amazingly dramatic drawings. The great thing about high-quality comics is that the reader happily returns again and again to re-read them and find new things to marvel of, and the Hellraiser collections are definitely worth reading if one appreciates classical horror. It's a fact that none of the stories are as good as The Hellbound Heart, but still, the collection is worth reading and can be highly recommended.
