Saturday March 23, 2019 will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the publication of Mike Mignolia’s Hellboy. On that day in 1994, Dark Horse published a little known comic called Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. Along with it came our introduction to the Right Hand of Doom, the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.) and Hellboy himself.
“When I created Hellboy way back when I never imagined he would be around long enough to celebrate a 25th anniversary,” said Mike Mignola. “I’m grateful to the writers, artists, colorists and letterers who’ve joined me in telling Hellboy stories for all these years. And, of course, so grateful to the fans. This thing could not exist without their support and it’s a pleasure every time I get to go out to meet them.” Mike Mignola will appear at a Hellboy Day signing at Earth 2 Comics in Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles on March 23.
For more information about the Mignolaverse comic books and graphic novels, as well as announcements of Dark Horse Comics’ plans for 2019 to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of the first Hellboy comic book, Hellboy: Seed of Destruction, follow the company on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
