Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon

In this 2018 one-shot from Dark Horse, Mike Mignola steps away from Hellboy to explore a different kind of monster: the historical enigma of Grigori Rasputin. The story reimagines the mad monk's infamous influence not as political cunning, but as the result of a literal, whispering demonic voice at his ear. Mignola's signature shadowy art brings a chilling, supernatural gravity to this single-issue character study, reframing a real-world villain through the lens of cosmic horror. It's a compact, atmospheric tale that deepens the mythos Mignola has built around the occult roots of the 20th century.
