Hellboy: Weird Tales #3

Hellboy crouches in a vast, eerie snowfield on Alex Maleev's striking cover, revolver in hand and tail curling behind him, while a ghostly procession of shadowy figures looms in the mist above. That unsettling contrast — one determined hero against an endless parade of the unknown — sets a perfect tone for this anthology installment from Dark Horse's 2003 supernatural series. With talent like John Cassaday and a roster including Bob Fingerman, Steve Lieber, Sara Ryan, and William Stout contributing to this issue, Hellboy: Weird Tales #3 delivers the kind of offbeat, chilling storytelling the series does so well.
