Hellboy: The Golden Army

In this 2008 one-shot from Dark Horse, filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola team with artist Francisco Ruiz Velasco to bridge the gap between the second and third Hellboy films. The story expands the mythology of the Golden Army, a legendary mechanical legion, while maintaining the brooding, folk-horror atmosphere that defines the character's comics. Though a single issue, it stands as a key collaboration between the two architects of Hellboy's modern identity.
