To celebrate our “20 Years of Hellboy” art contest, which gives every fan with some ambition and a modicum of artistic talent a chance to have their work published in an upcoming Mignolaverse issue, as well as take home some sweet prizes, we decided to bring in some ringers, to show us how they interpret everyone’s favorite kind-hearted devil spawn. We will be posting pieces each day for this entire month, so enjoy our 31 Days of Hellboy!
Our first Hellboy of the year belongs to current “B.P.R.D.” cover artist Rafael Albuquerque! In addition to doing his amazing Mignolaverse covers each month, he just wrapped up the ‘Evolve or Die’ arc with Jeff Lemire on “Animal Man” for DC. In a few weeks, he and Scott Snyder will be bringing back their acclaimed Vertigo series, “American Vampire,” for a “Second Cycle.” He’s not just an artist, though – he has recently written pieces for both “Batman: Black and White” and “Legends of the Dark Knight” for DC. He lives in Brazil, can be found on Twitter (@rafaalbuquerque), on his website, and you can buy some of his original art via Cadence Comic Art.
