Author Introduction


Mike Mignola is best known as the multiple award-winning creator, writer, and artist of "B.P.R.D." and "Hellboy", but has fostered several other projects like "The Amazing Screw-On Head" and "Baltimore" with Christopher Golden. Although he began working as a professional cartoonist in the early 1980s, drawing 'a little bit of everything for just about everybody' - including characters like Batman and Wolverine - he was also a production designer on the Disney film "Atlantis: The Lost Empire". Mignola also acted as a visual consultant to Guillermo del Toro on "Blade 2" and the film versions of Hellboy, which were broadly adapted by del Toro from the original comic series. Mike Mignola currently lives in southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.


Blurb

Hellboy : The Bones of Giants :- When a startling discovery is made in Sweden, the B.P.R.D. sends Hellboy and Abe Sapien to investigate. What ensues is a wild adventure full of Norse legends, mythical creatures, and a threat that could bring not just Earth but the Nine Realms of Norse mythology to their knees.
Hellboy : The Silver Lantern Club :- When Hellboy and the Professor face a dead-end in their supernatural investigations, Simon Bruttenholm offers inspiration in the form of a tale of when the combined forces of the entire Silver Lantern club were required to defeat a strange occult endeavor! 
Hellboy Universe Essentials : Witchfinder :- One of Sir Edward Grey's first cases as an agent of the queen, an occult mystery that takes Grey from the sparkling echelons of Victorian London to its dark underbelly in his inaugural clash with the city's most infamous secret society: The Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra.

My Opinion


A wonderful set of graphic novels full of some really weird stories. All the books are amazing. But, my personal favorite would be Hellboy Universe Essentials: Witchfinder. The stories are so creepy and full of horror. Also, the graphics are amazing with some very different characters. Although, we don't see hellboy's character as one of the main in all the books. But, still the books are enjoyable and best for horror lovers. The Witchfinder is superb.

I would like to give the book 5 stars. Thanks to Edelweiss and Dark Horse Books for providing me an opportunity to read and review the book.
