Hellboy: Darkness Calls #3

The third chapter of Darkness Calls arrives with a cover by Mike Mignola that's atmospheric and quietly unsettling — Hellboy, red-skinned and determined, stands amid a grim procession of skeletal, armored figures bearing skulls and weapons, while an imposing, robed giant looms from a tangle of bare, cracked trees above him. The stark contrast between the dark upper half and the pale lower register gives the image a haunting, almost folkloric weight that feels entirely at home in Hellboy's world. With Duncan Fegredo handling interior art alongside Mignola's storytelling, this 2007 Dark Horse miniseries is shaping up to be one of Hellboy's more mythically charged adventures.
