The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed

In 2017, Dark Horse released The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed, a five-issue miniseries that expands the Hellboy universe by focusing on a mysterious figure glimpsed in earlier tales. Written primarily by Chris Roberson and Mike Mignola, with art by Paul Grist, the story explores the title character’s origins and his quiet, watchful presence in the world. This series offers a deeper, more human look at a minor but intriguing element of Mignola’s mythos, rewarding longtime readers with a focused character study.
