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!
Michael Avon Oeming is an artist who needs no introduction – but, since that’s sort of what we do in these spaces, here we go! Oeming is perhaps best known for “Powers,” his Image/Icon series with Brian Michael Bendis which has been in various stages of television development over the past few years. Among us at Multiversity, “The Mice Templar” might be our favorite Oeming project; what isn’t to love about a tale of anthropomorphized mice in a struggle against an evil king? For our pals at Dark Horse, Oeming is working on “The Victories,” a “very adult” take on the superhero genre. Check out his website and follow him on Twitter (@Oeming)!
