Summary: | Since 1994, Mike Mignola's Hellboy has been one of the most evocative comics on the stands, slowly revealing a bizarre world of Victorian occult societies, prehistoric gods, arcane Nazi experiments, and layer upon layer of enigmas. In recent years, the characters have faced one revelation about their world after another - Abe Sapien's origin finally revealed, the Secret History of the World laid open before Hellboy. Now Mignola opens the vaults to Stephen Weiner (The Will Eisner Companion), comics scribe Jason Hall (Beware the Creeper, Trigger, and Detective Comics), and journalist Victoria Blake (The Oregonian, NPR) to assemble the various pieces of the Hellboy puzzle into one book, overseen and densely illustrated by Mignola with new art and panels from fourteen years of comics - as well as art from noted collaborators Guy Davis, Duncan Fegredo, Paul Azaceta, Jason Shawn Alexander, and others.
