Mike Mignola on Frankenstein: New World from Dark Horse Comics

Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, bestselling novelist and comics writer Christopher Golden, comics writer Thomas Sniegoski, artist Peter Bergting, colorist Michelle Madsen, and longtime Hellboy letterer Clem Robins are returning to the Hellboy universe for Frankenstein: New World, an all-new four-part miniseries from Dark Horse Comics. Frankenstein: New World features the return of Mignola’s take on the Frankenstein monster with the first story to be set chronologically after the conclusion of B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know, which had concluded the epic story of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. Mignola will illustrate a variant cover for issue #1, colored by award-winning colorist Dave Stewart. 

Sir Edward Grey: Acheron - Written and Illustrated by Mike Mignola

For the first time in five years, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is both writing and illustrating a full length comic book, one which provides the next chapter in the fabled Hellboy Universe. Titled Sir Edward Grey: Acheron, the one shot story is set following the events of B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know, in which the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense managed to fight off the monsters on earth long enough for humanity to barely escape underground. The story is Mignola’s first full length comic book since Dark Horse Comics published Hellboy in Hell in 2016; here he reunites with award-winning colorist Dave Stewart, as well as letterer and longtime collaborator Clem Robbins. Dark Horse Comics will publish Sir Edward Grey: Acheron this winter, featuring a main cover by Mignola and Stewart and a variant cover by acclaimed artist Ben Stenbeck and Stewart. 

Dark Horse Announces HELLBOY Universe Essentials

The stories of the Hellboy Universe are some of the most celebrated and beloved in comics fandom. Blending folklore, horror, mythology, action, and adventure, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and a host of celebrated writers and artists have chronicled the adventures of Hellboy, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, Lobster Johnson, and Sir Edward Grey for more than two decades. Beginning in 2021, Dark Horse Books will publish four volumes of essential Hellboy Universe stories, all selected by Mike Mignola, each featuring all new covers by Mignola and award-winning colorist Dave Stewart. 

“In some cases—B.P.R.D. and Witchfinder—it was pretty easy to select the one “essential” book,” said Mignola. “Hellboy was more complicated, as there is so much ground to cover. In the end we chose to go with a collection of short stories rather than a single graphic novel, to give more of an overview of the character. We chose certain stories that say important things about his background, but also some that just show what he does and how he does it. A couple of stories are in there just because they are my favorites.”

Dark Horse Celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Hellboy

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 returned as a Special Guest to San Diego Comic-Con International, where the convention celebrated the anniversary of that first 4-page story by including the historic story in their 2018 Souvenir Book. The story, which previously had been published with colors by acclaimed colorist Matt Hollingsworth, is now colored by Eisner Award-winning colorist and longtime Mignola collaborator Dave Stewart and appeared alongside an all new interview with Mignola and Jed W. Keith. Not to be undone, 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.

SDCC 2018: Dark Horse Game of Thrones Ice Dragon Statue

In one of the most awe-evoking moments of HBO’s adaptation of Game of Thrones, The Night King, riding the undead Viserion, brings The Wall at Eastwatch crumbling down in a rain of blue dragon fire, cinder, and ash.

Freshly risen from the icy waters beyond the wall, Dark Horse has captured this unseen moment in all its detail with Viserion’s wings outstretched in ferocity, poised to decimate all that lay in his path. The level of detail exhibited in everything from the rips in the wings to the meticulously detailed dragon-scales, you won’t be able to help but imagine this wreaking havoc through the towns and cities of Westeros.

Dark Horse To Publish Geof Darrow’s SHAOLIN COWBOY: START TREK

Having won the Inkpot Award, won (and lost) multiple Eisner Awards and created the iconic  and blood-soaked character the Shaolin Cowboy, cartoonist Geof Darrow is one of the most influential and revered cartoonists. As VULTURE says, "no one draws violence quite like Geof Darrow.”  This summer Dark Horse Books will boldly go where they have never gone before when they publish Geof Darrow’s SHAOLIN COWBOY: START TREK and bring a classic, hard-to-find masterpiece back into print. Originally published as a seven issue comic book series by Burlyman Entertainment, the story garnered Darrow the Eisner Award in 2006 for Best Writer/ Artist.

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: Jon Snow

Back into our Dark Horse Game of Thrones figure photo series with Jon Snow...because...you know...winter is HERE!! As we dip into the snowy season on the east coast, the weather is providing the most perfect backdrop for a Jon Snow photo shoot, and a recent, wind driven blizzard set the mood. Jon is a complex man, forged by his loyalties and loves, as much, if not more than his hardships.

For more than 20 years, Mignola and a host of celebrated writers and artists have chronicled the adventures of Hellboy facing his supposed destiny as Beast of the Apocalypse, and explored the mysterious backstories of B.P.R.D. agents including Professor Trevor Bruttenholm and Abe Sapien. Now, for the first time ever, Dark Horse Books will publish Mike Mignola’s award-winning Hellboy stories in chronological order with the HELLBOY OMNIBUS COLLECTION, creating the definitive reading experience for Hellboy fans and an ideal entry point for new readers.

Your First Look at the 2018 Movie Hellboy

As shooting starts in the UK on the re-booted Hellboy franchise, Directed by Neil Marshall and starring David Harbour (Hellboy), Milla Jovovich (The Blood Queen), Ian McShane (Professor Broom) and others, we assumed we would be patiently waiting for production to wrap before we'd see anything more than a teaser from the set. WE WERE WRONG!

Here's a super jacked up David Harbour as HELLBOY!! Mike Mignola (creator of Hellboy) has stated Hellboy's right hand of doom is NOT CGI... 100% practical with articulated fingers and the potential to kick demon ass.

Hellboy Funko Pops Nearly Here

We hear the moaning sounds across the internets. We've shared those moans. Some are sick-to-death of Funko's seemingly unstoppable Pop army and others, triggered with joy and gimme hands the second they see a wall of white window boxes. For me, I find the whole phenomenon fascinating and will admit to being tempted by more of my fair share of toy offerings. While I've managed to keep my urges for little black eyed desk mascots which can potentially be an entire wall covering to a minimum, I can completely understand the appeal (Ren and Stimpy are miiiiine). Today, we show off the Hellboy comic book Pops coming this fall, and we know, those moans will be more from wanting than from hate...

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: Ygritte

Let's dive back into Dark Horse's Game of Thrones figure series with Ygritte, the enigmatic spearwife of the wildlings whose fierce conviction would be enough to make any man of the north lay down his weapons and beg for further...debate. In the end, she will tell them plainly. THEY KNOW NOTHING!!

Ygritte was destined to be a favorite with Game of Thrones fans as her desire to be free and "no man owns me" attitude would make her a highly appealing character in a time where we find ourselves needing every warrior woman we can get in popular media. Whether captive or keeper, Ygritte consistently proves she is ultimately in control and stands as the one woman to make Jon Snow question his motives and alliances.

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: The Hound

We continue our Dark Horse Game of Thrones figure photo series with an extremely complicated man who is first introduced as a remorseless villain, later appears to be a somewhat apathetic lackey and later still, evolves into a warrior with a dark past and more than respectable notions of honor. Sandor Clegane, also known as "The Hound", seemed to make his allegiances as a matter of survival and kept his distaste for those he served to himself. While most would dismiss him as capable of the same monstrous acts his brother (The Mountain) would enact on a whim or by command, it's become clear Sandor is more complex than any mere beast.

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: Daenerys Targaryen

Idle Hands continues our photography series for Dark Horse's Game of Thrones figures! Today we profile the Mother of Dragons... which is only fitting on the eve of Mother's Day. Only daughter to the "Mad King", Daenerys has always been burdened with near mythological circumstance dictating her path through life. Named Daenerys Stormborn for the tempestuous weather which raged on the night of her birth. Named Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea when her marriage of convenience to Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo skillfully evolves from political maneuver to undying love and a an acceptance of power which is her birthright. Named The Unburnt when she emerges from her love's funeral pyre, unscathed, and blessed with three powerful "children", earning her the title Mother of Dragons.

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: Arya Stark

Back into our photography series for Dark Horse's Game of Thrones figures! Today we visit with a girl who sometimes has a name and sometimes...does not. She's gone through an incredible transformation as the series marched on, always seemingly just out of reach of the comforts and safety of her old life. From the little girl swinging her sword Needle about the grounds of Winterfell to the defiant young woman who stood her ground with The Hound and earned his respect. Arya Stark has survived largely by the strength of her reserve, and sometimes, her hate, which lead her to the steps of the Many Faced God. There, she would endure humiliation, beatings and blindness to acquire the deadly skills needed to bring about the deaths of the enemies of House Stark... delivered by small, unassuming hands. It is unknown what, exactly, drives Arya these days, but it is suspected that her plans are far reaching and fairly genius. One thing is for sure, when it comes to Arya, not everything is what it seems.

Dark Horse's Game of Thrones: The White Walker

IT'S TIME!! As a new season of Game of Thrones approaches, we unveil a project we've been working on for some months now. Taking the Game of Thrones line of figures produced by Dark Horse, we've gone out into the wild (inside the wild.. around it.. underneath it) to find the ideal backdrop for our favorite characters from George R. R. Martin's blood soaked pages. We begin this series with the enigmatic, monstrous White Walkers. Winter is coming.

They are spoken of in hushed tones...the stuff of dark fairy tales used to send a child directly to bed. It is said they once walked the earth in great numbers, coming down from the north where Winter is eternal. Riding atop undead horses and flanked by spiders as large as Dire Wolves, the White Walkers extinguished the lives of anyone unfortunate enough to lay in their path. It took the combined might of Westeros to drive the nightmare army back to their icy lands; a wall erected to prevent further incursions...and remind the populace of how close they came to complete annihilation.

Mondo's 1/6 Scale Baby Hellboy Figure

Summoned to Earth on December 23rd, 1944, the half-demon child known as Anung Un Rama was intended change the tide of WWII in Germany's favor. Instead he was discovered by US soldiers, given the name Hellboy, and would go on to fight the forces of evil as an adult.

Working closely with creator Mike Mignola to design the definitive baby Hellboy, the figure features 6 points of articulation (neck, tail, shoulders, right elbow, and right wrist), and the cutest lil face Hell ever spawned. Now's your chance to hold this little bundle of demonic joy in your own hands!
