In 1993, legendary comic book creator Mike Mignola’s most famous creation, Hellboy, first appeared in a four-page, black and white story in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2, months ahead of his full issue comic book debut in Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. Co-published by Dark Horse Comics, this story introduced one of the most beloved comic book characters in history and launched what would become known as the Mignolaverse—the strange, shared universe of comic books and graphic novels, comprised of acclaimed titles including Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., Abe Sapien, B.P.R.D., Frankenstein Underground, Lobster Johnson, The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed and Witchfinder.
25 years later, Mignola is returning as a Special Guest to San Diego Comic-Con International to celebrate the 25th anniversary of that first story by including that in their 2018 Souvenir Book. This update will have colours by Eisner Award-winning colourist and longtime Mignola collaborator Dave Stewart. Also included is an all-new interview with Mignola and Jed W. Keith.
Ahead of the convention and the planned celebration of Mignola and his creation, Dark Horse Comics is announcing three new Mignolaverse comic books, which further expand and enrich the epic story that has been entertaining fans around the world for two and a half decades.
