  <default_description>Mike Mignola's story notes accompany the long out-of-print stories, giving insight into their creation and inspiration. Some consider Mignola's short stories better than the full-length novels, and this collection makes a strong argument for that, especially with Mignola's masterpiece, &quot;The Corpse.&quot;</default_description>

He's famous for the longer Hellboy stories, of course, but the short stories in <em>The Chained Coffin and Others</em> are a great medium for him.

    <body><![CDATA[I read the first volume of Hellboy a long time ago, and it never really hooked me. Mike Mignola's art was gorgeous, but there was just something distant in the story that prevented it from hooking me. <br/><br/>Since then, I've read a little <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=B.P.R.D." title="B.P.R.D.">B.P.R.D.</a> and The Amazing Screw-on Head one-shot.

    <body><![CDATA[Burned into my brain:  A single panel from The Chained Coffin with the image of Cynthia's corpse/spirit impaled on the devil's barbed hook.  She is being pulled upward in the distance, finally and fully taken by her demon-lord.

    <body><![CDATA[Hellboy is a fantastic series. Volume 3 is especially awesome as it is more of a collection of short stories rather than a continuation of the main storyline. Not that the main story is bad, but the short story style really opens up some cool story telling.

I really like these collections that Mignola puts together, as they showcase his awesome ability to take a random folktale and shove Hellboy into it in an interesting way.<br/><br/>This is one of the better TPBs in the Hellboy series.
