Via Bloody Disgusting, Dark Horse Comics have revealed the next mini-series to expand the “Hellboy” universe will be the four-part “The British Paranormal Society: Time Out of Mind.” The book’s creative team will consist of writers Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson, artist Andrea Mutti, and colorist Lee Loughridge, and it will feature cover artwork by Sebastián Fiumara.
The series, which spins off from the “Witchfinder” stories, will see British Paranormal Society members, Simon Bruttenholm and Honora Grant, setting their sights on the town of Norton, the truth of which is hidden behind an “innocent façade.” Grant is determined to learn more about the “strange traditions” of Norton, whilst Bruttenholm is seeking his missing assistant; the mini-series will see their two endeavors become entangled by the town’s “dark secret.”
Roberson described how he “really wanted to spend more time with the [series’s lead] characters” following their appearances in “Witchfinder,” and when the discussions turned to making an “Edwardian-era English folk horror story, it seemed the perfect opportunity to bring the pair of them onto center stage.” Roberson closed by stating that “Andrea Mutti was the first and only artist we had in mind to draw it.”
“The British Paranormal Society: Time Out of Mind” #1 is scheduled for release on April 27.
