Hellboy is celebrating 30 years of spooky tales and high adventure at Dark Horse Comics, and to celebrate the publisher announced plans to release a series of hand-numbered screen prints for fans.
The first print in this commemorative series will be the gorgeous, 10-color Hellboy 30th Anniversary: Seed of Destruction #1 Screenprint. This is an exact replica of the original cover that started it all, featuring Mignola’s original art and character. Of course, this reproduction wouldn’t be complete without the special appearance of Arthur Adams’ Monkeyman and O’Brien!
With the second print, fans can jump back in time with this elegant, black-and-white Hellboy 30th Anniversary: Wake the Devil 1994 Comic Ad Screenprint. A humorous single-page comic advertising the soon-to-be Wake the Devil series, it serves as the perfect callback to the early days of Hellboy when we were just discovering who he was and his intended purpose in our world.
“For 30 years, Mike has gifted readers with masterful storytelling, unmatched in his ability to convey atmosphere and mood, and to create (or end) worlds through a drip-perfect alchemy of art and story,” said Eric Garza, the designer and content curator who is partnering with Dark Horse to celebrate Hellboy’s 30th Anniversary. “Since the very first issue, HELLBOY has seamlessly blended elements of horror, pulp adventure, gothic romance, mythology, folklore, and so much more – and often at the same time. However, what undoubtedly sinks its hooks into you first is Mike’s artwork. It is a style without compromise, unmistakably and singularly his own.”
Each print is 24 inches by 36 inches in size, and is expected to ship in September 2024. Each of the hand-numbered prints will set you back $75.00.
