Itty Bitty Hellboy

Art Baltazar and Franco bring their signature all-ages charm to Dark Horse’s Itty Bitty Hellboy, a playful 2013 series that shrinks the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense into a world of chunky, kid-friendly antics. Running five issues, this comic reimagines Hellboy, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and the rest of the B.P.R.D. crew—including Lobster Johnson and Roger the Homunculus—in lighthearted, silly adventures far from the usual horror. Baltazar’s bubbly art and co-writing make this a delightful, accessible entry point for younger readers, while still offering a warm wink to longtime fans of Mike Mignola’s universe.
