Synopses & Reviews
Mike Mignola's award-winning series Hellboy has been lauded as much by other artists as it has by award ceremonies and fans. Over the years, many of the best artists in the industry have asked if they could do a backup story, just to get a chance to play with the characters and worlds Mignola has created. As Dark Horse gears up for the release of the 2004 Hellboy motion picture, we present this lavish collection of these stories. One of the most popular features in recent Hellboy books has been the sketchbook section, so we've asked these stellar artists to let us present some of their behind-the-scenes work in this collection.

Review
"The word entertaining is an understatement for this stuff....Humor and whimsy are constants in the writing, even, darkly, in the one story in which Hellboy is replaced by a human demon Stalin." Ray Olson, Booklist
