Hellboy, the worlds greatest paranormal investigator, is the only thing standing between sanity and insanity as he battles the mystical forces of the netherworld and a truly bizarre plague of frogs. And if he fails, we all fail with him! Mike Mignolas award-winning Hellboy is now a major motion picture from Revolution Studios, statting Ron Perlman and Selma Blair and directed by Guillermo del Toro ( Blade II, Mimic, The Devils Backbone. )
Mike Mignola was born September 16, 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age (he doesn't remember why) and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered.
In 1982, hoping to find a way to draw monsters for a living, he moved to New York City and began working for Marvel Comics, first as a (very terrible) inker and then as an artist on comics like Rocket Raccoon, Alpha Flight and The Hulk. By the late 80s he had begun to develop his signature style (thin lines, clunky shapes and lots of black) and moved onto higher profile commercial projects like Cosmic Odyssey (1988) and Gotham by Gaslight (1989) for DC Comics, and the not-so-commercial Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (1990) for Marvel. In 1992, he drew the comic book adaptation of the film Bram Stoker's Dracula for Topps Comics.
In 1993, Mike moved to Dark Horse comics and created Hellboy, a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. While the first story line (Seed of Destruction, 1994) was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. There are, at this moment, 13 Hellboy graphic novel collections (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien and Witchfinder), three anthologies of prose stories, several novels, two animated films and two live-action films staring Ron Perlman. Hellboy has earned numerous comic industry awards and is published in a great many countries.
Mike also created the award-winning comic book The Amazing Screw-on Head and has co-written two novels (Baltimore, or, the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire and Joe Golem and the Drowning City) with best-selling author Christopher Golden.
Mike worked (very briefly) with Francis Ford Coppola on his film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer on the Disney film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and was visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). He lives somewhere in Southern California with his wife, daughter, a lot of books and a cat.
Hellboy doit avoir une histoire éditoriale ... intéressante ... vu le nombre de très courts récits mettant en scène le démon bougon et ses multiples rencontres avec des êtres étranges. Et ce tome 4 est parfaitement typique. On y croise des fantômes nordiques, des vampires transsylvaniens, et bien sûr des curés et des morts. De ces différents récits, le plus intéressant est sans doute le dernier, qui nomme la main d'acier de Hellboy et nous rappelle également toute son histoire. Bon, malgré tout, ça n'est pas forcément le tome le plus indispensable.
Qué tomo tan bonito. De nuevo varias historias cortas algo insustanciales pero entretenidas, todo muy bien dibujado, y con un coloreado laburado que resalta bastante todo el conjunto. Hasta creo que encontré pocos errores en la traducción. Ahora me falta sólo "Caja repleta de maldad" y tengo todo el cofrecito de Ovni leído, después de años de haberlo comprado (y jamás haberlo to-readeado) e ignorado como un idiota.
Un dessin impeccable et des histoires d'horreur mélant mythologie et légendes urbaines, sans oublier les sarcasmes de Hellboy. Une excellente série de BD.
