Checker Book Publishing Group has announced a November release of CLIVE BARKER'S TAPPING THE VEIN, an anthology of comic-book adaptations of Barker's short stories.
The book collects nine stories, adapted to the comics medium by creators including P. Craig Russell, Klaus Janson, John Bolton and Scott Hampton among others.
All the anthologized stories come from Barker's 1984 short story collection, BOOKS OF BLOOD, and were adapted into comics for the Eclipse Comics series TAPPING THE VEIN in 1989 and 1990.
Checker's publication of CLIVE BARKER'S TAPPING THE VEIN marks the first time the comics adaptations have been collected in book form.
Checker previously published CLIVE BARKER'S HELLRAISER: COLLECTED BEST, an anthology of stories based on the film and written and illustrated by top-shelf comics talent which originally appeared from Epic Comics between 1990 and 1993.
