I am not going to get into where Hellboy is returning from in this new appearance, but to say that the recent mini “Hellboy: The Fury” ended in a shocking manner is an understatement (but also in incredible fashion).
One way or another, Hellboy will be returning to appear in a story from his past during his time wandering around Mexico (as originally highlighted in the straight-up incredible one-shot “Hellboy in Mexico”). This 8-page story will be appearing in Dark Horse Presents #7, and will feature more of what makes us all love the big guy…you know, him battling Mexican Bat Gods, Mummies, and even the occasional Luchador.
Check out more about it after the jump, and look for this exciting issue soon.
MILWAUKIE, OR—AUGUST 17— While fans mourn the loss of Hellboy in the tragic ending of Hellboy: The Fury last week, Dark Horse is incredibly pleased to announce that the big guy returns with an all-new 8 page story in Dark Horse Presents #7.
As set up in the critically acclaimed one-shot from Mike Mignola and comics legend, Richard Corben, this all-new story will follow Hellboy through further adventures south of the border. In 1956, Hellboy was sent to Mexico to investigate a series of mass killings. This 8-page story recounts another hazy event during his time there, and features plenty of fodder for casual and hardcore Hellboy fans; a Mexican bat-god, an Aztec mummy, and of course, a Luchador!
“Back in 1956 Hellboy spent several months stumbling drunkenly through Mexico and this is just one of the odd things that may or may not have happened to him during that time. He claims to have no memory of this particular incident but that doesn’t mean it’s not true.” — Mike Mignola
