THE HORROR SMASH HIT

THIS FOLLOWS IN THE TRADITION
OF THE DRAMATIC SELL OUT OF
HELLRAISER #1

June 3, 2021 – Los Angeles, CA –BOOM! Studios proudly announced today Clive Barker’s HELLRAISER #2 is completely sold out, sending the acclaimed horror series into second print! Second prints of HELLRAISER #2 are available to order immediately through Diamond Distributors using the Diamond Code: APR118195.

This new comic book series marks only the third time Clive Barker has touched the world of HELLRAISER: first in the original novella THE HELLBOUND HEART, second in the original seminal horror classic HELLRAISER film. This most recent sell out follows on the footsteps of the dramatic HELLRAISER #1 sell out aided in part by BOOM! Studios’ historic PRELUDE TO HELLRAISER #1 PDF online promotion (check #HellraiserPrelude on Twitter or Google to download a copy where available).

“Another win for Clive Barker and the HELLRAISER team!” says BOOM! Studios Editor-in-Chief Matt Gagnon. “It’s always a great feeling when the comic you put so much blood and tears into (not literally) pays off in a big way like a complete sell out! Keeps us on our toes and makes us strive even harder to bring fans the absolute best HELLRAISER comic possible!”

“With two back-to-back sell out issues fans are showing that they can’t get enough of the HELLRAISER ongoing comic series!” says BOOM! Studios Marketing Director Chip Mosher. “We’re grateful for the tremendous fan and retailer support that made the HELLRAISER #2 sell out possible. But we’re not done yet, expect even more fantastic HELLRAISER stories to come!
