 | | Mike Mignola's hugely acclaimed series kicks off with a collection of dark and mysterious tales, in which Hellboy tackles a cult of devil-worshipping Nazis, a frog-beast and an ancient evil, one which threatens to open the doors to hell itself. |
 | | Mignola portrays a quirkiness and humour to the Hellboy character (which is fully realised in Del Toro's new Hellboy movie) and brings to the mix Abe Sapien (almost a modern reworking of Universal's Creature from the Black Lagoon), the incendiary Liz Sherman and, of course, the BPRD (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defence). |
 | | Mignola also skimps on backgrounds, often just leaving them out for panels at a time, but when he does render backgrounds, he knows just how to set the mood, whether the background in question is a derelict church, a moonlit forest or a graveyard. |
