In the now-grand tradition of Hero Initiative’s previous and wildly successful 100 Project books, Mike Mignola’s signature creation comes to the fore! ALL of Hero’s original covers to Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1952 #1 are on display in this great book, with art by John Cassaday, Francis Manapul, Todd Nauck, Whilce Portacio, Eric Powell, Paolo Rivera, Bill Sienkiewicz, and of course, Mike Mignola!
This is a volume that will appeal more to the diehard Hellboy fan than the casual reader. Rather than seeing the Mignola-esque styles that have been popular around the Hellboy books for awhile, you get a variety of artists who do away with the spot blacks and expressionism and go for a more traditional style–it's basically a book full of opportunities for you to go, "Oh, shit, I wish this person was drawing Hellboy in a monthly" (I maintain that Jeff Lemire illustrating a Hellboy graphic novel will be a crowning achievement for Mignola, Lemire, and Comics in general). It's a good one to have to flip through, and the proceeds all go to a good cause. You could certainly do worse in prestige pieces for your bookshelf. Read Full Review
