Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an
early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to
Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never
recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he
swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had
begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream
projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman- Gotham by Gaslight. In
1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse.
There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way),
several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and
Sir Edward Grey- Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two
live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on
Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a
production designer for Disney's Atlantis- The Lost Empire (2001),
and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on
Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II- The Golden Army
(2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published
in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with
his wife, daughter, and cat.
Sebastian Fiumara is a comic book artist known for his work on Abe
Sapien, Ender's Shadow, Loki, Lobster Johnson, The Amazing
