It's been over two decades since Clive Barker's name has been attached to an all-new comic book. But it looks like it was worth the wait. In October, IDW will debut Seduth, co-written by Barker and Chris Monfette, with art from the acclaimed illustration team on Locke and Key, Gabriel Rodriguez and Jay Fotos. Hit the jump for the details and the full cover image.

Seduth, according to the announcement on IDW's site, "tells the tale of celebrated architect Harold Engle, who first glimpses the small cloud of darkness inside a glittering, priceless diamond, without any knowledge of the terrible plague contained within."

Perhaps most intriguing is that the book will be in 3D (with glasses included) -- thanks to effects from 3D print expert Ray Zone.

The 32-page, ad-free comic is certain to keep Barker's fans, and fans of horror comics in general, happy this Halloween. We'll have more on Seduth soon, so be sure to check back.
