It was a real pleasure to dive back into that world, and I look forward to getting back there again before too long.Įditor Katii O'Brien also provided an obligatory press release quote: I figured the two of them were bound to run into each other (and they will), but first I had an unfinished bit of business for Ed to take care of on his own. I'd relocated two of my favorite characters there-Edward Grey and Koshchei the Deathless. Showing that he means business, Mignola even provided the obligatory press release quote discussing how excited he is to get back to work:Įven after Hellboy was finished with Hell, I knew I wasn't. Dark Horse Comics will publish Sir Edward Grey: Acheron this winter, featuring a main cover by Mignola and Stewart and a variant cover by acclaimed artist Ben Stenbeck. Here he reunites with award-winning colorist Dave Stewart, as well as letterer and longtime collaborator Clem Robins. The story is Mignola's first full-length comic book since Dark Horse Comics published Hellboy in Hell in 2016. Titled Sir Edward Grey: Acheron, the one-shot story is set following the events of B.P.R.D.: The Devil You Know, in which the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense managed to fight off the monsters on Earth long enough for humanity to barely escape underground. This December, Mignola will follow up Hellboy in Hell with Sir Edward Grey: Acheron, described by a Dark Horse press release as follows:įor the first time in five years, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is both writing and illustrating a full-length comic book, one which provides the next chapter in the fabled Hellboy Universe.
2016 was a strange time that feels like it happened so long ago.
The last comic Mignola wrote and fully illustrated was 2016's Hellboy in Hell, a comic about Hellboy believing there's no way Donald Trump will actually win the election and deciding to write in "Keith Richards" on the ballot as a gag, only to suddenly find himself trapped inside a four-year nightmare that he feared he might never escape.
