The Pulp Horror and Heroism of Hellboy: Conqueror Worm

May 6, 2020 by Matt Draper Leave a Comment

There are many ways the world may end. But some endings bring new beginnings.

After 7 years of stories, author Mike Mignola brought Hellboy’s long-running narrative to a boil with Conqueror Worm – a four-issues series that would shut the door on several elements that had been, until this point, inextricable aspects of what makes a Hellboy comic a Hellboy comic. And in doing so, Mignola gave life to a new direction for his half-demon, half-man hero. But first, he had to pay tribute to the bygone stories that inspired the pulp adventure side of his gothic horror franchise.

Conqueror Worm is the culmination of the initial story Mignola had been building since Seed of Destruction in 1994 and serves as the end of the first act of Mignola’s Hellboy epic, honoring the roots of the character before pushing into a new era.

Shadow and Weight: Mike Mignola Comics Profile & Chronology

April 12, 2019 by John Galati Leave a Comment

There is something magical about watching someone become who they are. Not so much an evolution, but a refinement, a growing clarity in which their influences and experiences blend together into something that looks like nothing else. This is an especially wonderful thing in comics, because it leads to telling not many stories, but one story — their own story.

And that’s exactly what we get with Hellboy creator Mike Mignola (pronounced Meen-YO-la) as he went from staff artist to, well, himself. [Read more…] about Shadow and Weight: Mike Mignola Comics Profile & Chronology

Hellboy Reading Order: Where to Start With Hellboy Comics & BPRD

October 20, 2016 by Dave 1 Comment

Hellboy’s great. I never expected to think that, but if you haven’t given Hellboy comics a shot, you’re missing out on one of the absolute best comic book universes out there.

I first heard of Hellboy through the 2000’s feature film with mightily low expectations. Yet behind the silly name, there was an excellent character, sharp humor, and clever action.

The comics bring all of that and so much more, as the Hellboy universe has expanded over the years. You can check out the full Hellboy reading order below.
