Who is Orphan?
Born from the haunted imagination of Mike Richardson and P. Craig Russell in 2003, Orphan is a Modern Age Dark Horse creation who has carved out a quietly eerie corner of comics history. This character's most notable stomping grounds include the atmospheric pages of Hellboy / Beasts of Burden: Sacrifice and Dark Horse Presents, sharing those shadowy adventures with the likes of Hellboy himself β remarkable company for any character to keep. With appearances stretching across more than two decades into 2025, Orphan may have a modest footprint in the catalog, but the pedigree of creators and co-stars alone makes every one of those appearances worth seeking out.
