Hellboy #[1]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection launches the Hellboy saga, introducing the world to the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense's most formidable agent. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Mike Mignola, the story follows Hellboy's investigation into a series of bizarre events connected to the resurrected Grigori Rasputin and a plot to unleash the Ogdru Hem, the seven gods of chaos. The volume also establishes key supporting characters like Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Professor Trevor Bruttenholm.
In "Seed of Destruction Chapter One," Hellboy confronts a grotesque frog-like creature while Liz's energy is siphoned by Rasputin to awaken the ancient Sadu-Hem. Far away, an alien race watches in disbelief as the tombs of the Seven Beasts are breached. With Abe guided by the lingering spirit of Elihu Cavendish and Rasputin overwhelmed by the surge of power, Hellboy must stand alone against the wizard in a final, desperate clash. Written by Mike Mignola and John Byrne, with art by Mignola and colors by Mark Chiarello, this pivotal first chapter of a landmark arc features a cover by Mike Mignola.
In "Seed of Destruction Chapter Two," Hellboy, Liz Sherman, and Abe Sapien arrive at the eerie Cavendish Hall to unravel the mystery behind a forgotten Arctic expedition. As tensions rise and the house’s secrets begin to surface, Abe dives into the surrounding waters, Liz vanishes without a trace, and Hellboy faces a grotesque amphibious foe—only to be met by the chilling presence of Rasputin.
In "Seed of Destruction Chapter Four," Hellboy fights to break free from a frog creature’s paralyzing grip as Liz’s energy is siphoned by Rasputin to awaken the ancient Sadu-Hem and unleash the Ogdru-Jahad. Meanwhile, far beyond Earth, an alien race watches in disbelief as the tombs of the Seven Beasts are breached. With Abe driven by the lingering spirit of Elihu Cavendish and Rasputin overwhelmed by the torrent of power he’s summoned, Hellboy must stand alone against the wizard in a final, desperate confrontation.
