His career was already firmly established for his outstanding work on characters like Batman, Wolverine, a myriad of beautiful covers and more... And then came Hellboy. Mignola's iconic creation struck a meteoric chord with fans from the very start and has not abated in the 25-plus years since the character's debut. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis Artisan Edition features the first five issues of \u003ci\u003eHellboy in Hell\u003c\/i\u003e 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's \u003ci\u003eNextmen\u003c\/i\u003e #21-plus \u003ci\u003eThe Corpse\u003c\/i\u003e, and two other tales selected by Mignola for inclusion. Nearly every page has been scanned from Mignola's original art and showcases the artist'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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn Artisan Edition endeavors to mimic as closely as possible the experience of viewing the actual original art-for instance, corrections, blue pencils, paste-overs, all the little nuances that make original art unique. Unless you are holding Mike's art in your hands, there is no way to better experience his original art.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Mignola\u003c\/b\u003e is best known as the multiple award-winning creator, writer, and artist of \u003ci\u003eB.P.R.D.\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e, but has fostered several other projects like \u003ci\u003eThe Amazing Screw-On Head\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBaltimore\u003c\/i\u003e with Christopher Golden.
