Hellboy #1

Mike Mignola's brooding, atmospheric cover sets the tone perfectly — Hellboy looms large in the foreground, his red skin and filed-down horns unmistakable, while shadowy figures and occult imagery crowd the background behind him. This Dutch-language edition from De Vliegende Hollander brings the story "Kiem van het Kwaad" (Seed of Evil) to a wider audience with Mignola and John Byrne's collaboration in fine form. A compelling entry point into one of comics' most distinctive supernatural universes, presented with all the moody elegance that makes Hellboy so enduring in 2010 and beyond.
