Voltaire : "I have been a fan of Clive's for years... then recently I met the gentleman who runs Clive's website and he told me that Clive spoke highly of MY work in his latest interview on the website. Naturally, I had a heart attack! To have someone like what you do is one thing... but to have someone who you are a HUGE fan of speak kindly of your work.... that's out of this world. Anyway, the two of us collaborating was mentioned... and eventually I spoke to Clive about it... and now it's official!
"I have a graphic novel coming out at the end of the month called 'Deady: The Malevolent Teddy'. In short, the galaxy's greatest evil escapes confinement on it's homeworld and possesses the body of a discarded teddy bear here on Earth. so you have this cute little teddy bear who is REALLY REALLY naughty.
"In the book I did a 5 page story in which DEADY unwittingly unleashes the Cenobites only to discover that they are actually the Stenobites: Demons from the 7th circle of middle management hell! (paperclip head, keyboard mouth, post-it face...you get the picture). And naturally he gives them a pretty hard time.
"Well the next story in the book is written by Clive!
"It's kind of an 'oh, yeah, want to make fun of my characters??? well take THIS!' kind of thing where Deady goes to sleep and experiences a nightmare written just for him by Clive.
"The story is called The Waiting Room. I just got it and it's hilarious and wonderfully disgusting!!!!! I'll be spending the next couple of days illustrating it."

Other Graphic Novels and Comics
We've not attempted here any kind of (in)justice to the life that Clive Barker's novels, screenplays and short stories have enjoyed in transferring to comics and graphic novels. This subject is already comprehensively covered at the Lost Souls site and at The Hellbound Web site (see links page for both).
See, though, these original art pages from the graphic novels...
The only reason for singling out Primal, Night of the Living Dead, Field and The Waiting Room on this page is that they are original Barker storylines specifically for this medium.
We intend however, in the fullness of time, to add a specific section on the Decamundi - ten worlds conjured from the Barker imagination to fuel the Razorline series of comics for Marvel.
