Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson, Christopher Mitten, and Ben Stenbeck are back for another Hellboy adventure at Dark Horse Comics with the October release of Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club.
Even though it is a five-issue mini-series, Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club will feature stand -alone tales based on different Victorian occult investigator who battled evil years before Hellboy was on the scene.
“Over the years readers have gotten to know a few of the people who investigated the occult and supernatural long before Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., like the Witchfinder himself Sir Edward Grey and the globetrotting Sarah Jewell,” said Chris Roberson in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “But Sir Edward and Sarah were just two members of the Silver Lantern Club, a group of occult investigators who met regularly in a London tavern to swap stories over drinks. In Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club Hellboy and Professor Bruttenholm take a break from an ongoing investigation to meet up with the professor’s Uncle Simon at that same tavern, who was a member of the club himself, to hear stories of the glory days.”
In the debut issue, Hellboy learns about the mysteries of an exorcism gone wrong and more when his occult investigator relative reveals secretive and perilous adventures of one of the Hellboy Universe’s most mysterious societies. Silver Lantern Club member Simon Bruttenholm relates a tale from the dawn of radio, in which Sir Edward Grey and Sarah Jewel go toe to toe with . . . technology?
Each issue will follow Hellboy and Trevor Bruttenholm, drawn by Stenbeck, as they hear a new occult adventure from the Silver Lantern Club’s history, drawn by Mitten.
Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club is scheduled to arrive on October 27, 2021.
