{"product_id":"9781506754628","title":"Hellboy Universe: The Secret Histories Volume 1","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e: 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 evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he'd begun to develop his 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, leading to over two decades of comics spinoffs, prose books, animated films, and live-action films. He worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film  Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), Disney's  Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and with director Guillermo del Toro on  Blade II (2002) , Hellboy (2004), and  Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). A new  Hellboy film by Neil Marshall is in the works. Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in many countries. He lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.  JOHN ARCUDI has been telling lies since he was a boy. Eventually it became clear that this was the only thing he was any good at. After a stint writing for Marvel, he ended up at Dark Horse, where he wrote, among other things,  The Mask. John is best known as cocreator of  Major Bummer and  A God Somewhere, both for DC Comics, and collaborating on a whole mess of comics with Mike Mignola. Recent work includes his original series  Rumble and  Dead Inside, as well as Mike Mignola's  Lobster Johnson.  CHRIS ROBERSON is the co-creator of  iZOMBIE (with Mike Allred) and  EDISON REX (with Dennis Culver), and the co-writer of  HELLBOY AND THE B.P.R.D and other titles set in the world of Mike Mignola's Hellboy. In addition to his numerous comics projects, he has written more than a dozen novels and three dozen short stories.  LAURENCE CAMPBELL worked as a graphic designer for six years before studying, and later teaching, at Central Saint Martins. During this time he started drawing comics for Caliber Comics before working for Image, 2000 AD and Marvel on titles like  Punisher Max,  The Dark Tower and  Marvel Universe vs. Wolverine. He is now happy drawing monsters while hearing his family around the house.  CHRISTOPHER MITTEN is originally from the cow-dappled expanse of southern Wisconsin, and now spends his time roaming the misty wilds of suburban Chicago, drawing little people in little boxes. He can be found online at www.ChristopherMitten.com and on Instagram @Chris_Mitten.  PAUL GRIST is a British writer and artist known for his creator-owned series  Kane and  Jack Staff, published through his own Dancing Elephant Press and collected by Image Comics. He has also worked on  Rift War! (Titan Comics),  Judge Dredd (2000AD), and  St. Swithin's Day with Grant Morrison (Trident Comics).  North Carolina native  JASON LATOUR has been making comics for over a decade, from the award winning  Southern Bastards with Jason Aaron, to the hit Marvel series  Spider-Gwen with Robbi Rodriguez. When not creating comics, Latour can be found rapping under the name Old Youngin'.  DAVE STEWART was born on the high desert to the chatter of a rattlesnake. Despite a rare case of Sasquatch leg and the desire to run with any northbound moose migration, he found the coloring arts were a suitable profession, allowing him to build a moonshine still in the hills of Southwest Portland. His coloring garnered him industry awards, unlike his feverish gathering of dry leaves for winter bedding. And he colors on.  BILL CRABTREE is an Eisner Award and Harvey Award nominated colorist who has worked in comics since 2003. He has worked on  Invincible (Image Comics),  The Sixth Gun (Oni Press), and  The Visitor: How and Why He Stayed for Dark Horse Comics among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026-03-24\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dark Horse Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48278723264738,"sku":"9781506754628","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781506754628.jpg?v=1787960167","url":"https:\/\/www.mangadeal.com\/products\/9781506754628","provider":"Manga Deal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
