Ghost/Hellboy Special

In this two-issue Dark Horse special from 1996, Mike Mignola’s Hellboy crosses paths with the spectral vigilante known as Ghost, a union that pits the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense’s favorite demon hunter against a wronged spirit in a collision of supernatural noir and pulp horror. Mignola scripts the encounter, with Scott Benefiel handling the art, blending Hellboy’s grim, mythic world with Ghost’s more urban, vengeful ghost story. A brief but memorable team-up, it stands as an early example of Dark Horse’s willingness to let its creator-owned characters share the page.
