ヘルレイザー

Synopsis

A hedonistic man finds a mysterious puzzle box that summons a group of gruesome beings known in English as Cenobites but here referred to as "Mages". These otherworldly entities open the doors to a dominion where pain and pleasure are indivisible. Amino Naruho adapted Clive Barker's directorial debut into manga form as a tie-in with the Japanese theatrical release. According to the artist, he was handed a print copy of the just published Japanese translation of the novella (published February 1988) and was shown an advance screening of the movie at the offices of the Japanese distributor. His 40 page manga then appeared in the first issue of Bears Club in June of 1988. It has never been reprinted or collected.
