Mike Mignola is one of the preeminent comics creators of the past 25
years. His career was already firmly established for his outstanding
work on Batman, Wolverine, a myriad of beautiful covers, and more... And
then came Hellboy. Mike's iconic creation struck a meteoric chord with
fans from the very start and has not abated in the 20 years since his
debut. This Artist's Edition features the first five issues of Hellboy
in Hell as well as a wealth of historic supplementary material: the
first three Hellboy stories--the two initial four-pagers, produced for
promotional purposes, and the 10-page story from John Byrne'sNextmen
#21--plus The Corpse, and two other tales selected by Mignola for
inclusion. All but three pages of Mike Mignola's Hellboy Artist's
Edition have been shot from the original art and showcase Mignola's
gorgeous work as closely as possible to the physical page--this is a
book for fans of great storytelling and students of the craft. A new
printing with a brand new cover exclusively for this edition!

multi-Eisner Award-winng series of Artist's Editions.
Artist's Editions present complete stories with each page scanned from
the original art, capturing a rare viewing experience that most off us
would never have. Though appearing to be in black and white, each page
is scanned in color to mimic as closely as possible the experience of
viewing the actual art--corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs--all the
little nuances that make original art unique--are visible. Each page is
reproduced at actual size, and the paper selected is as close as
possible to the original art board.
