Hellboy: The Right Hand of Doom

    (Dark Horse, 2000, 2003)
™ and © 2003 Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

Ever since his first appearance in John Byrne’s NextMen #21, Hellboy has become a fan and creator favorite. Dark, moody, irreverent, yet poignant; touching, funny, and simply entertaining only capture a small hint of the depth that Mike Mignola’s burly creation brought to the comics medium. Using folklore from around the world as a basis for Hellboy’s paranormal adventures, Mignola has created the quintessential, paranormal adventure hero. In this collection readers will find the hilarious Pancakes, the so-called origin of Hellboy in The Right Hand of Doom, the serialized vampire story The Varcolac, and the classic Box Full of Evil, among many others. The sketchbook section is a great bonus to this already jam-packed collection of hard-to-find stories. With box-office success and talk of a possible sequel for the Hellboy movie, get these collections while you can!
