Hellboy is quickly becoming one of my all time favourite horror comics.
Mike Mignola is indeed a genius. If you liked the films-the comics are way better.
That is three Hellboy books in a row, and I am not stopping there.
HELLBOY:THE TROLL WITCH and others
Third time Hellboy goes to Norway. Fascinating stuff.
Different artist this time, but still good and it is not the first time. P. Craig Russell and Richard Corben have both drawn Hellboy also.
Fegredo is a good artist, but Mignola did it best himself.
Hey I have that book! Frank Miller was in desperate need of a thesaurus; Batman called Spawn a punk about 8 billion times. And Todd McFarlane's art isn't right for Batman-- I remember one panel where he's standing on a rooftop and I swear his cape covers a whole freaking city block! =))
I love the final shot though..."Bury this."
Nearing the end of my Hellboy marathon now.
Mignola is clearly inspired by the pulp writers from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s, like for instance Lovecraft, Howard and others.
Like the pulp writers of the 19th century like Vernes, Wells, Hugo et al, they are all considered classics now.
Another 50 or 100 years, Mignola will go the same route.

This is where it ends.
HELLBOY IN HELL: THE DESCENT
Mike Mignola is back and in top form!
This is the final book in the series, and covers Adams work from 1971-1996, covers and stories. He was perhaps, probably, the best Batman artist ever. reinvented The Batman after the camp 60s, with writer Denny O Neil and inker Dick Giordano. Have many of these from before, but not all. Well worth a buy.
Cause that would be awesome [-O<
I'm apprehensive about getting too excited about this-- Frank Miller isn't the sure bet he was in the times of the original Dark Knight Returns. I'm referring of course to the DKSA mentioned above and All Star Batman & Robin- a book so bad they never even bothered to finish it! If I remember correctly only 10 issues came out over the course of FOUR YEARS before they said to hell with it.
I guess we'll have to wait and see- if it's a true sequel to Dark Knight Returns then there's potential, but I'm not getting my hopes up
I've come to put my hands on a copy of DANGER GIRL: RENEGADE #1. I've got to say, despite some interesting artwork by Stephen Molnar, I do miss the old pencil of J. Scott Campbell. The story is penned by Andy Hartnell, of course, and it sees an exploration of Abbey Chase's background in a segment of the narrative, while the second half is set in present day. The cover art, of course, is done by none other than Campbell.
Or if anyone has the hots for a more controversial artwork, here's the alternative for the cover art.
I may have a heart attack on this one. Got to produce a fan art with Brosnan's Bond associated with THIS Abbey! :D
On a classier note, i've always been more partial to Sydney than Abbey.
=))
The thing I like about Sydney is the fact that she is the DG equivalent of Catwoman (hence in the Batman crossover, she's angered when Catwoman says "Someone's biting my style") and is more flexible physically. Abbey is also superficially attractive with the various "supermodel poses" she makes. ;)
Delusions of a grandeur, sir. :>
The Old Master was probably the most influential storyteller of the 20th Century.
HELLBOY AND THE B.P.R.D.:1952This time drawn by Alex Maleev, which is an excellent choice for artist. The stories are great as always.
Helluva of a five issue series, I tell you. You can imagine it as a mini-Planetary (if you're familiar with the title, that's penned by already Bond writer, Warren Ellis) told from a superspy's point of view. The first main two characters bear heavily resemblance to two different James Bond likenesses: one with Sean Connery, who is listed under the name Operator 5 (it's never explained whether he's Jimmy Christopher or another agent with the same codename) and Andrew Bicknell (Agent Under Fire), a rookie spy called 'Agent 1001' who later becomes Captain Action. Yes, it's based on the action figure of the same name. Heavily recommended. There are many surprises lying inside for the old Bond fans, as well.
Art by Francisco Francavilla
Judge by yourself whether Operator 5 is actually a disguised Bond or not.
UNCLE SCROOGE:
"The Seven Cities of Gold"
by Carl Barks.
Hope I can find more of these collections.
Haven t read the original novel, but this comic book adaptation by P. Craig Russell is chillingly good.
Various artists have contributed to both volumes. Russell does it best himself, I think.
Charlier was a class A writer, you will know him from Blueberry and Barbe Rouge.
Uderzo a fantastic artist who could both do carricatures (Asterix) and realistic (this).
