He was summoned from hell, but fights on the side of
the angels. Hellboy continues his unending quest to fight all forms of evil in
this collection of short comics. He
faces a carnivorous house, vampire Mexican wrestlers, space aliens that dabble
in the occult, vengeful mummies, ghost cows, and even more!
The various anthology collections of Hellboy are always
some of his most fun, weird adventures, and this is definitely towards the very
top of his best shorts collection.
Mignola very rarely draws anymore, but he is so well respected in comics
that he can get the best illustrators in all of comics to work with him. Both Richard Corben and Kevin Nowlan were all
but retired, and Mignola was able to convince them to draw full comics. This makes for some of the most richly drawn,
inventive horror comics being drawn today.
The stories are all short and pack a lot of great twists, gags, and
sublime weirdness in as few panels as possible. My personal favorites have to be the vampire ghost story and the story about the house that eats people. However all the other stories are just as perfectly bizarre. All in all this is a must read for fans of comics of all stripes, and
might make a great stepping in point for people looking to get into comics.
