The latest Hellboy movie strikes much closer to the source material than previous movies. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola appreciates the vision of the director: “His intention is to make a horror movie.”

The comic book mini-series Hellboy in Love is an occult adventure and unlikely romance. The Hellboy creator talks about the origins of the love story and how it expands on classic Hellboy stories.

Paranormal investigator Hellboy, created by writer-artist Mike Mignola, got his start in the comics. A half-demon summoned as a baby by Nazis, he was taken by Allied Forces and raised by Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, founder of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (BPRD).
