I'll agree that Witchfinder vol 2 probably lands pretty low on the list but I would probably not say that I didn't like it. I could blame this on saying Hellboy comic and not Mignolaverse but that seems like a cop-out. So I will rephrase. I have not read something with Hellboy in it that I didn't like.

Also, more Rivera.
>>
>>77711074
I love how Hellboy never takes that spooky stuff for completely granted.
>>
>>77724853
He's probably seen a few hoaxes in his days.
>>
>>77725002
Have there been Hellboy stories where it was all a hoax in the end? I'd imagine that they had investigate a good number of those but the stories never tell about them. I think that would be an interesting change of pace.

>>77724507
No disrespect intended but she just looks like an old woman, not a resurrected Egyptian mummy.

If there's something I've missed and she actually now IS just an old woman, I apologise.
>>
>>77725180
No offense taken. I might not have taken it far enough. But I do think that that she looks mostly like a really wrinkly old lady so that was what I pretty much went with. I did look at other people's take on her but in the end it might have been me not taking it far enough.

It's in Library Edition Volume 2.
>>
>>77725180

I take it you've never seen Ardath Bay, then?
>>
>>77725373
nice. thanks anon

>>77725388
It's the only Library Edition I own, so I checked my actual physical copy.

>>77725387
I don't know who that is.....
>>
>>77725533
so why are you sometimes vollsticks and sometimes vollstix? or is it multiple people?
>>
>>77725481
i just ordered the first 3 volumes and don't really plan on getting the rest since there's no more mignola art. glad to know i got that story
>>
>>77725533
Supposed to be Ardath Bey. Aka Boris Karloff from The Mummy.
>>
>>77725574
I'm pretty sure more of his art shows up in other volumes but not that much of it. Volume 6 has the work he did in The Bride of Hell and Others from what I understand. And In the Chapel of Moloch should be in another volume. But If you are looking for Mignola only then yeah, I think you're good.
>>
>>77725559
It's all me, just depends on how lazy I'm feeling. Since I (apparently) am such a huge hipster shitposter with an "effeminate" writing style (whatever THAT means), you should be able to recognise me whether it's sticks or stix, Anon.

Oh, okay. The old, good Mummy or the shitty Brendan Fraser efforts?! Thanks for the info, though, Anon.
>>77724691
He's inking himself, yeah?
>>
>>77725759
It's the classic one from the 30's. I've been meaning to give those classic Hammer films a watch. I've only seen the Bela Lugosi Dracula one.

I believe I read that his father is inking him.
>>
>>77725708
yeah i'm aware, i torrented the rest. not really worth it to shell out another 130 bucks just for a couple stories, fegredo is fine but i'm not a fan of corben's
>>
>>77717531
Passing Bat helps the plot along by questioning Gruagach. Ever so helpful to the storytelling.
>>
>>77725832
I recommend The Black Cat.
Boris Karloff is pretty handsome in that one too.
>>
>>77726004
I might give it a look. I believe I've seen a review of it some time ago. I should probably take care of Frankenstein, The Mummy, Wolf-Man and perhaps the Invislbe Man first. Maybe The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The Draenei/Eredar pretty much are the demons of the Warcraft universe. Suppose there's only a certain number of ways you can draw smoking hot chicks with horns and hooves.
>>
>>77726656
I think we can also attribute some of the effect to the washes and inks of Fegredo who is also really great. Probably my favorite Hellboy artist after Mignola.

There's a reason it's said that you can cross him over with anything.
His character is very... universal is probably the wrong word, but his struggle is very applicable. In the end he is just simply a nice guy who is trying to carve out his own way in life while everyone else in the world seems to think they have to tell him what to do.

Considering how universally acclaimed Hellboy is, why are the sales numbers so low ;___; I know that a lot of the fanbase tradewaits, but it's still sad.

(Yes, I realize it's basically impossible to jump into BPRD/Abe right now without reading everything else. And Abe's writing isn't quite as good as everything else. But Hellboy should still be doing better.)

Well, turkey's the main thing, but you know, it's like a Christmas dinner. You've got that main thing, like a turkey or a ham or a goose, but you've gotta have sides and stuff, and a dessert, and other people will bring food too if they're visiting for dinner.

In our case it's gonna be turkey, biscuits (the flaky dinner kind, mashed potatoes, gravy, two kinds of stuffing, pumpkin pie, and cinnamon cookies (which I believe you call biscuits).

Here's a cool bit of comics trivia (if you didn't know it): Bela Lugosi was Hugo Pratt's cousin (?) or cousin once-removed--anyway they were related.

You have any info on Paolo Rivera's father? Industry vet, something like that? Cheers for info, Anon.
>>
>>77731503
All I know is that he has been inking Rivera's stuff quite a lot from what I can remember.

I hope we'll see more Bruttenholm stories, he's great. I love the dynamic between him and Hellboy.

>>77726614
I know I can, totally, Anon, but thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. I was just kind of shocked at the last shelf thread how many Anon's were ripping the shit out of me (tho' a few came to my defence). Yeah, I know 4chan ain't a hugbox but since coming on here in 2010 I had never, in all that time PUT TOGETHER, experienced as many attacks as I did in that shelf thread. I'm a grown-ass man so I DID ignore 'em but some people on here just ALWAYS want a fight. Hahah I sound like a right boo-hoo!
>>77732841
Cheers. He didn't ink his earliest Spideystuff, though, did he?

Yeah I hoped you'd enjoy it! It's easily googled, in fact I think I might've read it on Lugosi's wikipedia entry, can't quite remember.

I mean he has simplified his style over time and I suppose I prefer it somewhere in the middle if I had to choose. But I still love what he is doing now so don't misunderstand.

Well it is kind of an acquired taste but I still find his artwork very appealing. Him drawing Hellboy himself is usually really great. His ladies might be "sexual" but they might not always be "hot", if I am making any sense.
>>
>>77741245
Have you taken a look at his Poe stuff? Or some of his older work like Den?
>>
>>77741917
Nope. Should I?
>>
>>77741241
Yeah, sometimes the simplification is too much, I hope it's just Mignola's way to show that Hell is a weird place and if Hellboy gets out the art shifts again.
Still, it's amazing what he can show with such a little amount of shapes.

>>77741976
I mean that depends on how much you like Poe adaptations and he has done a quite a lot of them so and his older stuff might not turn you off as much but I can't say for sure. And when he paints/colors his own stuff in comics like Den it can look really great. So I will say take a look if you are interested in Poe and give his art another chance here since he has both old and new stuff based on it. I think he even has two versions of some stories and some are mixed together. I suggest everybody give it a shot.

Is this too much for you?

I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the fact that it's in hell. It was going in this direction before Hellboy in Hell started. If anything he might try to go simpler. But I hope not.

You just know some of those freaks doubled as prostitutes

unlikely.
he was going down that path even before HiH started, i guess it started somewhere in the early 00s. shame because while his 90s stuff is 10/10 to me i'm not crazy about the current overly simplistic, shakey lines with very little detail.
wonder if he'll go even further down that path

kinda hard to say, a lot of his faces have a surprised look with bulging eyes so i guess it fits, especially in the first page. i do like his backgrounds though

Corben
Fegredo
Mignola.

Gawd I remember Fegredo's first published work New Statesman, John Smith's terrible Watchmen riff....my God his art was terrible. He has come so, so far from such humble beginnings. Bigged him up at Thought Bubble but didn't have owt for him to sign, seemed like a nice guy.

Mignola
Fegredo
Stenbeck

t b h, when I first started reading Darkness Calls I felt Fegredo was too cartoony for Hellboy. But I kept reading, and I'm glad I did because now The Wild Hunt is probably one of my favourite arcs of the entire universe.

Corben is a bit too... idk, visceral for me? Can be grotesque to me, and honestly i'm more a fan of cosmic horror and spookiness than that sort.

What's everyone's favourite background monster that's only briefly shown?

I'm a fan of the slug from the Wild Hunt

Mignola
Corben
Hampton

not that the other ones are bad. can't wait for Rivera though
>>
>>77748883
I like Hampton but something felt a bit off, kinda got that poser user feeling or that he was reusing some artwork or something. I still liked it but I felt it could be stronger.
