Hellboy in Hell #7

Mike Mignola's cover for this 2015 Dark Horse issue presents a haunting, stripped-down vision of Hellboy — his skeletal form draped in a tattered coat, holding a small white flower while a rat perches near his feet and golden fruit hangs overhead from dark foliage. The muted gold atmosphere and quiet, almost funereal composition make it one of the more contemplative images in the series. With "The Hounds of Pluto Part One" kicking off a new arc, colored by Dave Stewart in his signature atmospheric palette, this issue promises the kind of melancholy mythic strangeness that makes Hellboy in Hell so rewarding.
