This paperback gathers artwork from Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics, including pieces that never appeared in the earlier hardcover. Alongside finished images are unused and unfinished covers, drawn from a decade of sketchbook work. The book shows how Mignola designs characters, plans his storytelling and handles color, with many pages of art seldom shown before. It offers a close look at the process behind one of the most celebrated comic series of its time.
