Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the first story arc of the Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder series, originally published as a five-issue miniseries by Dark Horse in 2010. Written by Mike Mignola with art by Ben Stenbeck, it follows the Victorian-era occult investigator as he is summoned to London to unravel a series of supernatural murders linked to a secret society and a mysterious angelic artifact. The story expands the Hellboy universe by delving into the early career of the Royal Occultist, blending Mignola's signature gothic horror with Stenbeck's moody, detailed artwork.
In "null," Sir Edward Grey is led through London’s shadowed underground tunnels to the office of The Captain, who then organizes a mission to a secluded house where a medium named Mary is said to hold secrets beneath the city’s surface. The journey into the unknown begins with a quiet dread, as the city’s hidden veins pull them deeper into a mystery that feels both ancient and urgent.
In the haunted stillness of Mary’s parlor, Sir Edward Grey faces a creature born of forgotten nightmares, its presence a challenge to both flesh and faith. As the dust settles, he is drawn into a deeper mystery when August Swain of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra seeks to claim the beast’s bones—only to be turned away. With Mary and The Captain at his side, Grey follows a trail of ancient dread to a crumbling church, where Rev. Blum whispers of Hyperborea’s doomed exiles and the hellish realm they fled to—where such horrors still stir.
In "null," Sir Edward Grey, the man known as Witchfinder, finds himself briefly pausing amid the aftermath of another harrowing encounter with the unseen. As he shares an afternoon beer with Mary, memories of his knightly past and the notoriety that followed his victories surface—echoes of a name long shadowed by history. The Captain then leads him to Martin Gilfryd, the enigmatic disciple and suspected killer of the one man who might have held the key to defeating the creature.
In "null," Sir Edward Grey confronts a dread beyond memory as Gilfryd calls forth a creature bound to its scattered bones, seeking a reunion that may be more curse than salvation. With his allies dead and the shadow of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra closing in, Edward presses forward—haunted by a warning from Mary’s ghost, and driven by a pursuit that never truly ended.
