-Descripcion Original:

About the Author Mike Mignolas fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppolas film Bram Stokers Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disneys Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mikes books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat. Since Mike Mignolas Hellboy first hit the stands in 1993, it has become a cultural sensation, racking up a dozen Eisner Awards and inspiring numerous spinoffs - from a novel line, to video games, to feature films. Now, Dark Horse is pleased to present the comics that started it all, collected in deluxe hardcover editions. Sized at a generous 9 x 12, and handsomely bound to match The Art of Hellboy, each volume contains the equivalent of two full trade paperbacks. From Booklist The second oversize collection of Mignola’s infernal superhero consists entirely of the shorter stories that fill the gap in the unfolding big story started in the early Hellboys gathered in Hellboy, v.1 (2008) and resumed, a bit, in Strange Places (2006). It’s pure Mignola, written and drawn, and it verifies his and editor Scott Allie’s shared contention that horror is best suited to the short story, even when it is adulterated by Hellboy’s wisecracks and exclamations of minor frustration while pummeling and being pummeled by supersize supernatural monsters. Try “The Corpse” and “The Wolves of St. August” for starters, then devour the rest of these terribly tasty concoctions. --Ray Olson
