It's the time of year to remind people of the delightful two page comic Mike Mignola created around young Hellboy eating his first pancake
Just watched David Harbour's #Hellboy movie and it was exactly what I expected. I've read a couple of the books, and seen the earlier films, but I'm not deep in the lore. But I think they did a good job.
HELLBOY charcoal & chalk sketch on brown paper. Nice to do some scribbly drawings for fun after lots of digital work recently. Hellboy by @mikemignola.bsky.social is one of my favourite reads, please check it out if you like pulp, horror, fantasy, gorgeous art & all the good stuff! #art #Hellboy
Back in 2016 I attended a panel for Mike Mignola at San Diego Comic Con. I got the chance to ask him if the BPRD books would ever get bound omnibus editions like they did for Hellboy. He said that he didn’t know, it was entirely up to the publisher, but he hoped they would.
Well apparently Dark Horse decided it was a good idea, because I just discovered they released TEN of them in 2022, and now I have way too much money to spend.
Its a #Hellboy kinda morning here. Aren't needed for any attack until midday so I have a morning of coffee with this amazing #art
As far as dark and foreboding (but beautiful) #comic and #graphicnovel -ness, nothing beats Mignola's work to me.
His style and design and layout and universe. His use of negative color and negative space is just breathtaking.
Also this is bound in like...fabric? Really makes it feel special!
I like your "armed queers" picture and want to show you some of my work
First one is showing a Sten submachine gun, a typical weapon for anti-fascist partisans all over Europe (especially for French resistance) during WWII and became iconic since it was primitive and ugly but got the job done
Second one is a reference to Hellboy
Weiß hier jemand, warum der #Carlsen Verlag 1995 nur den ersten Band von Mike Mignolas #Hellboy herausbrachte? Und das coloriert, die Ausgaben bei Cross Cult ab 2002 sind dann durchgehend in schwarz-weiß gehalten. Mich würde der Grund interessieren, warum da nur ein Band erschien und die Serie dann gestoppt wurde.
Algo que siempre me ha encantado de #Hellboy es la tranquila naturalidad con la que afronta estas cosas... #HellboyEnElInfierno #HellboyInHell
Bueno, completada una cosilla pendiente de hace ya tiempo #Hellboy #HellboyInHell
