<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This volume collects issues one through four of the Dark Horse comic-book series Hellboy: Seed of destruction, issues one through five and epilogue of the Dark Horse comic-book series Hellboy: Wake the devil, stories from San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 and the Comics Buyer'5 Guide, and previously unpublished sketches"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Since Mike Mignola's Hellboy first hit the stands in 1993, it has become a cultural sensation, racking up a dozen Eisner Awards and inspiring numerous spinoffs, from a novel line, to video games, to feature films. Now, Dark Horse is pleased to present the comics that started it all, collected in deluxe hardcover editions. Sized at 9 by 12, and handsomely bound to match The Art of Hellboy hardcover, each volume contains two full story-arcs -- the equivalent of two trade-paperbacks. Each volume of the Hellboy Library Editions also includes extensive supplemental materials, including previously unreleased sketches and designs. <p/><i>Hellboy Library Edition Volume 1</i> collects the first two story-arcs -- <i>Seed of Destruction</i> and <i>Wake the Devil </i>-- with the original introductions by Robert Bloch and Alan Moore and expanded Mignola sketchbook sections.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mike Mignola's</b> fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading <i>Dracula</i> at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like <i>Cosmic Odyssey</i> and <i>Batman: Gotham by Gaslight</i>. In 1994, he published the first <i>Hellboy</i> series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen <i>Hellboy</i> graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (<i>B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, </i>and<i> Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder</i>), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film <i>Bram Stoker's Dracula</i> (1992), was a production designer for Disney's<i> Atlantis: The Lost Empire</i> (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on <i>Blade II</i> (2002), <i>Hellboy</i> (2004), and <i>Hellboy II: The Golden Army</i> (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.
