HELLBOY LIBRARY EDITION, VOLUME 5: Darkness Calls, The Wild Hunt

The oversized Hellboy Library hardcover series continues. Volume 5 collects two complete trade paperbacks: Darkness Calls and The Wild Hunt, the short story The Mole, as well as an extensive selection of previously unreleased sketches and designs. Hellboy has racked up multiple Eisner Awards, numerous spinoffs, a novel line, video games, cartoons, and two feature films. Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse with thirteen Hellboy graphic novels. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine/As New. In Shrink Wrap.
