    The new movie may have sucked balls but the comic is still rad.

    There's a new Halloween one-shot coming out via Dark Horse in October.

      For Immediate Release:

      Eisner Award-Winning Creators Mike Mignola and Adam Hughes Reunite for An All New HELLBOY & THE B.P.R.D Story

      HELLBOY & THE B.P.R.D.: THE SEVEN WIVES CLUB

      Two Legendary Creators, One Spirit-Fueled One-Shot

      August 27, 2019) This December, the Eisner Award-winning creative team of HELLBOY: KRAMPUSNACHT is reuniting for an all-new one-shot, HELLBOY & THE B.P.R.D.: THE SEVEN WIVES CLUB. Written by legendary HELLBOY creator Mike Mignola and illustrated by acclaimed artist Adam Hughes, this ghostly yarn features Hellboy coming to the aid of a young girl whose ghost hunt in Savannah, GA goes terribly wrong. Things go from bad to worse, as they often do, when a visit to an abandoned medical school reveals sinister layers to a grisly long-ago murder.

      “The Victorians used to read and tell ghost stories during the Christmas season,” said Mignola. “We might not be reading by candlelight these days, but I do like a good ghost story during the holiday season, especially when there are stolen cadavers, vengeful spirits, and art by Adam Hughes.”

      “I'm dead thrilled to be collaborating with Mike again and flabbergasted as always that anyone wants to work with me twice,” said Adam Hughes. “This one's so spooky, I'm only drawing it during the daytime.”

      Adam Hughes will provide both the main cover and a variant cover, and Mike Mignola will also provide a variant cover. Dark Horse Comics will publish HELLBOY & THE B.P.R.D.: THE SEVEN WIVES CLUB one-shot on December 11, 2019.

              I read the Hellboy Library Edition Vol. 5 last night, great, great stuff. Mignola write the whole thing and does about 40% of the art, the rest is done by a great selection of artists - P. Craig Russell, Kent Williams and, the main reason I bought the book, Richard Corben. There's no bad art in this book, it's all fantastic, and Mignola's storytelling is in top shape here. The quality of the book is gorgeous. Nice, thick, glassy paper stock, a beautiful cloth-bound exterior, and loads of bonus material in the back. MSRP is high on these volumes but you can get them for about $30 online. I only have the one, but now I want to complete the set.
