And some of the best recent fare for several years now, HELLBOY by Mike Mignola.



I had the good fortune to catch up on HELLBOY, and read the five collected editions by Mignola right before the movie came out.

One of the best comic-based movies in recent years too.







Arthur Adams' "Monkeyan and O'Brien" started as a backup in the first series, HELLBOY:SEED OF DESTRUCTION.

I wanted to show covers for Art Adams' CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON one-shot special, and his CREATURE FEATURES trade (collecting the CREATURE special, and his GODZILLA stories).

But I guess I'll have to settle for just showing his ACTION COMICS ANNUAL # 1 cover (1987), presenting a Halloween-atmospheric story, involving vampires in a small rural town.
