Hellboy in Hell #3

Mike Mignola's cover for this third chapter of Hellboy in Hell sets a quietly ominous mood: Hellboy stands amid scattered skulls and a coiling serpent, silhouetted against a muted, dusky expanse while bats drift through the air around him. The composition is characteristically spare and atmospheric, with Dave Stewart's restrained color palette lending the scene a sense of eerie, melancholic weight. If you've been following this 2013 series, issue three promises more of the same beautifully grim storytelling that makes this title such a distinctive corner of the Dark Horse lineup.
