Hellboy collection

Horns filed down flat, an oversized stone fist and a cigar at the corner of his mouth: Hellboy is nothing like a cookie-cutter superhero! Created by Mike Mignola in 1993 at Dark Horse Comics, this scarlet demon emerged in 1944 from a Nazi occult ritual orchestrated by Rasputin, before being taken in by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm and becoming the most unpredictable agent of the B.P.R.D. Backed by the scholarly amphibian Abe Sapien and the pyrokinetic Liz Sherman, he investigates wherever European folklore and forgotten gods resurface, and settles matters with a revolver and a jaded one-liner. The Right Hand of Doom, Mignola's roughly hewn shadows and the constant black humor are the appeal of this mythology where the monster remains the most human of all. From the founding comic books to the novels that extend the myth, not to mention the POP figures, the legend of the red demon spills far beyond the panels!
