About the Author

Mike Mignola's 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 Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney's 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). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

Pat Brosseau is a comic book letterer from Pasadena, California. He has worked on titles including Aquaman and Suicide Squad.

James Sinclair is a comic book artist and illustrator known for his work on The Flash, Hell Blazer, Green Arrow, Hellboy, The Mask, and many other titles.

Mike Mignola is best known as the multiple award-winning creator, writer, and artist of "B.P.R.D." and "Hellboy", but has fostered several other projects like "The Amazing Screw-On Head" and "Baltimore" with Christopher Golden. Although he began working as a professional cartoonist in the early 1980s, drawing 'a little bit of everything for just about everybody' - including characters like Batman and Wolverine - he was also a production designer on the Disney film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". Mignola also acted as a visual consultant to Guillermo del Toro on "Blade 2" and the film versions of Hellboy, which were broadly adapted by del Toro from the original comic series. Mike Mignola currently lives in southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mignola does it gain, with the help of a hooved detective.
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 1998

If your'e a fan of goth, horror, detectives, stylized art, or good comics, this is one for you. Mignola delivers another great yarn in the Hellboy mythos. This time out, Hellboy comes face to face with what might be his true nature and purpose on earth. By way of a hallucination the story of his origin is recounted to him in visions. Hellboy is thrown for a loop when one of the visions adresses him directly. The fun of this series is in getting to this point in the story. And even more fun is seeing the humanity in the demon detective when he gives the apparition his reply. If you're a fan of art like I am, you'll love the guest pin-ups in the back. I liked this book because it presented us with a more in-depth look at the character's backround and it was consistently better than the offerings that preceeded it (which were all great!)If you like this book, there are other Hellboy books in print as well as a text novel by Christopher Golden with illustrations by Mignola. Not to mention the great body of work he's only illustrated. Why don't you stop reading this and order it already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Nazis and vampires and ghosts, oh my!
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2004

This is the second Hellboy graphic novel. It is an improvement over the  first one , as we get to know the old characters better, and interesting new characters are introduced. Creator Mike Mignola's Kirbyesque artwork is terrific, and this time he handles the writing himself (the first graphic novel was scripted by John Byrne). I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but I will explain that Hellboy is a paranormal investigator who appears to be a demon. This book is dedicated to Dracula, which should give you a clue as to what he encounters this time. This book should be especially appealing to people who like  The X-Files  or  Buffy The Vampire Slayer , but I would encourage anyone who is a fan of sophisticated comic books to check it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hellboy hits its stride
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2009

An improvement over  Hellboy, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction (v. 1) , this is where the ongoing story of Hellboy truly begins. First off, Mignola handles all the writing this time around, and his style really starts to show, as there's a lot less narration and a lot more showing what's happening. Things really get rolling for the rest of the series, with cliffhangers and villains introduced, instead of the complete story told in the first volume. This may be its main flaw, as there's no real resolution at the end, but it certainly makes you want to read the rest.

The art is, as always, stylish and great-looking. Mignola's dark, flat colors make this one of the most unique comics around, and I open it up quite often just to flip through quickly and take in the beautiful scenes inside. All around I really recommend this book, and the entire rest of the series.

Looks very new. Only one crack in the spine, I think it's starting to pull away from th) (which is a bit of a disappointment) but at the price I couldn't beat it.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets?
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 23, 2015

Is this as good as comics get?

Okay, perhaps that's hyperbolic – it's difficult not to rate Alan Moore's 'V for Vendetta' at the very top of the comic tree – but it's not much of an exaggeration.

Taking the superhero genre and giving it a sardonic new life in Hellboy, Mike Mignola created something quite different. The intermingling of history and folktales with modern fantasy gives the books a much darker feel than many other comics, while Mignola's artwork is just a delight to revel in: deceptively simple but incredibly evocative.

I've read others in this series, but the second volume really is top notch.

As close to poetic as you will find in graphic novel story telling. Characters are very elegantly drawn and well thought out and the story is a rollercoaster of smart and elequant ideas.
