Blaze a Trail to the Wild West of the Hellboy Universe in Carmen Red Claw: Belly of the Beast

Carmen Red Claw: Belly of the Beast
Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is joining forces with writer/artist Rae Allen (The Manderfield Devil, Town with a Million Eyes) for a new paranormal Western in Carmen Red Claw: Belly of the Beast, a new series that connects to Lobster Johnson lore and the greater Hellboy Universe.Co-written by Mignola and Allen, with art from Allen, colors from Michelle Madsen, and letters from Clem Robins, this four-issue series will feature covers from Allen with variants from Mike Mignola, Jake Parker, Tonci Zonjic, and Benjamin Schipper. 

“I’ve wanted to find a project for Rae for a long time, and finally just had the good sense to ask her if she had something in mind—and she did,” explains Mike Mignola. “She had half a dozen ideas—all great—but I was super impressed with this one, that she was able to create an entire character and situation based on a super tiny bit of a Lobster Johnson history. Such a fun addition to the Hellboy universe. We banged some details back and forth, but that was all fun and easy. She is a joy to work with and I hope this is only the beginning.”

Jack Kirby: The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible

The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible
Writer Mário Freitas and artist Lucas Pereira team up to pay tribute to the Jack Kirby legacy with a fictionalized tribute to the comics icon in the upcoming The Man Who Dreamt the Impossible. This treasury edition one-shot will hit shelves in August from Image Comics and is a must-read for any fan of pop culture history.

“This book is huge. In format. In scope. In ambition. Just like Jack did. But this is not a biography. It is more of a classic 'what if?' scenario: what if Jack Kirby had lived well beyond the age of 76? What if he had survived his Roz; if he had spent his last years in a care home, reunited with his old creative pals from the days of the ‘House of Ideas’ (a term so well spread by propaganda, as if American comics hadn't been a house of ideas since the days of McCay, King, or Herriman)," said Freitas. "It is, above all, a narrative corollary to the great strengths of Kirby's career: the complexity of human relations and the relentless pursuit of the impossible that lies hidden in the Cosmos. But different. Original. Just like Jack did.”
