Mike Mignola teams up with Cyrille Pomès for a two-issue return to Hellboy’s time in Hell in Hellboy in Hell: Nothing but Blood.
The new story takes place after the death of Satan and the fall of Pandemonium in Hellboy in Hell #8 and details Hellboy’s quest to save a young woman being chased by demons which leads him down some unexpected and dangerous roads.
“Yes, I too thought Hellboy in Hell was a closed book—But a while back I discovered the work of Cyrille Pomés and instantly fell in love with it,” said Mignola. “We actually met and when he said he’d like to do a Hellboy story, well, how could I say no to that? I still had half an idea for a Hell story rattling around in my head and invited him to flesh that out, so now what you have is a true collaboration on the story and his absolutely wonderful art and storytelling. I’m so happy to introduce this guy to the American comic book audience.”
“When I first saw compliments from a certain Mike Mignola appearing on some of my Facebook posts, I thought it was a joke—or a namesake. But it really was the artist whose early work had such a profound impact on me as a teenager, and whose evolution I’ve followed with awe ever since.” added Pomés. “During a trip to the States, I made a stop in Los Angeles where Mike was living at the time and took a chance: would he like to write a script for me featuring his legendary Hellboy? His response still resonates with me today: ‘It would be an honor.’”
Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood #1 will be available at your local comic shop on October 7.
