Did he come
from Hell, or did he come to save us from it?
When strangeness threatens
to engulf the world, a strange man will come to save it. Hellboy is the
world's greatest paranormal investigator. Unfortunately for him, one of
the only mysteries he's never been able to solve is the mystery of his
own origins. Red-skinned, pointy-tailed, and horned, Hellboy tends to stand
out in a crowd. |
| In SEEDS OF
DESTRUCTION, Hellboy, the world's greatest paranormal investigator, is
the only thing standing between sanity and insanity as he battles the mystical
forces of the netherworld and a truly bizarre plague of frogs. And if he
fails, we all fail with him!
"...HELLBOY
is a brilliant example of how to elevate the comic of the future to a higher
literary level while achieving a higher pitch of excitement. Its story
line combines traditional concepts with modern frames of reference, the
whole being swept along by a virtuoso treatment of dazzling artistic effect...This
is far from the "pop art" of the Andy Warhol world or the inane imagery
of the drug culture. The creative approach found in HELLBOY is a newly
evolving art form of its own, addressed and attuned to today."
--from
the introduction by Robert Bloch, author of Psycho

Award-winning cartoonist Mike Mignola releases his fourth Hellboy collection,
including the 1999 hit series Box Full of Evil, reprinted here with a new
epilogue. Stories formerly available only in black-and-white-including
Mignola`s contributions to the 1998 and 1999 Dark Horse Presents Annuals,
The Right Hand of Doom and Pancakes are presented here in color for the
first time. The VÂrcolac, Mignola`s contribution to Dark Horse Extra,
is presented in a redrawn and expanded twelve-page version, and a new story,
King Volmer, is printed here for the first time. |
| On top of all
this, Mignola shares his sketchbooks for the first time, showing readers
the genesis of his personal take on the lords of Hell and other creatures.
Hellboy is a paranormal investigator who also happens to be the son of
the Devil. In this collection we follow Hellboy's journey, from his earlier
days when he first taste of pancakes costs Hell the grip on his soul--to
his later years where Hellboy learns that should he ever lose control he
will bring about the Apocalypse. All the stories are good, most are modern
retellings of old folklore stories. In the one about King Void, the Wild
Huntsman who every night rides forth seeking the souls of damned. Less
psychotic than John Constantine, more grounded than Fox Mulder, Hellboy
is without a doubt one of the most original characters in comics today.
The artwork alone by Mike Mignola is worth it. |
