Why does Hellboy look like a gorilla?

still don't get how those goggles work.
he never uses them.

>>82984903
Please tell me you're joking.

Mignola just loves monkeys so much. Something about relating to the fundamental human nature or maybe just because they look funny..

>>82984929
It's a meme

>>82984790
IT'S A MONKEY!

HE'S GOT A GUN!

>>82984790
Mignola likes drawing gorillas, it shows in a lot of demon designs

>>82984790
because he's based off your mum.

>>82984790
Ron Perlman, too...in fact he's a perfect hellboy

It's like Ultimate Nick Fury.

Mignola saw a gorilla in a movie and decided to base a new character on him. The gorilla's owner allowed it on the condition that the gorilla would play Hellboy if they ever made a live action.movie.

>>82984790

Wow, racist much?

>>82987003
Perlman is awesome as Hellboy. He sounds exactly how I hear him in my head, and he's got a strong, square jaw that's just perfect. He's also crazy nice apparently. My cousin met him while he was working on the first Hellboy movie, and says he was just the nicest dude ever. He was in full makeup, still on set. Said cousin is a caterer and was doing craft services for the picture. David Hyde Pierce was there too, and he was apparently really chill. Voiced Abe in the first one. He was on the television show Frasier, right?

>>82986973
Anybody have those panels? That shit is hilarious. It's best with no context to what the hell is going on.

>>82986992
and amphibians

>>82987055
What? Are you joking?
Mignola literally designed him to look like an ape.

I've just begun reading Hellboy, Irish guy, talked about this a day or two ago. Do they ever explain exactly what Abe is? I don't want it spoiled but I don't want to get blueballs waiting for an explanation that never comes.

>>82987172
oh yeah totally. you won't be disappointed it's actually pretty cool

>>82987114
I've met Hyde-Pierce, and yeah, he's really cool. And yes, he was on Frasier, he played Niles, Frasier's brother. He played Cecil on the Simpsons, brother of Sideshow Bob, who was voiced of course by Kelsey Grammar, who played Frasier. They make several references to that.

Is it true Mike Mignola was dorm mates with Steve Purcell of Sam and Max fame?

>>82987422

Yeah. Purcell was his best man when he got married, and he was Purcell's.

>>82984790
Because his mom is British.

>>82987172
Spoiler, because it was in the latest issue, and I want to discuss it with others who've read it: He's a god, a human, and Abe at the same time. He's basicly Deep One Jesus.

Thank god that didn't work out.

>>82988063
That design is way less cool. Ugh.

Someone post the links to the chronological Mignolaverse threads.

This thread needs more Hellboy crossover.

I really can't get as much into the Hellboy issues that don't have Mignola's art.

Anyone ever read the Aliens comic he did?

If you say so

>>82984790
Fun fact: Gorillas build nests in which they sleep, both on the ground and in trees, made of leaves and branches. Counting abandoned nests is an effective way for scientists to estimate population size.

That's just cool.

>haven't actually read the comics
Shit I gotta get hot.

>>82990032
Look out for the Chronological Mignolaverse threads, they've just reached Hellboy as a kid.

>>82990007
It's kind of sad actually. 24 years of Hellboy coming to an end. What would Mignola do next?

>>82990443
Paintings. he said so.

He took after his dad.

Also, will we ever get another movie by Deltoro?

>>82990007
>>82990443
Abe Sapien/BPRD are still ongoing though, right? I assumed once Hellboy in Hell wrapped up the resolution would involve him returning to earth and interacting with those stories.

>>82991327
I've heard that del Toro wants to do another one but can't find anyone to fund it.

Abe is ending on #43 or something. BPRD hell on earth is ending, and the next BPRD chapter will begin.

>>82991376
BPRD's going on hiatus after Hell on Earth ends and then starts it's final story cycle that's supposed to be as long as Plague of Frogs
