Hellboy In Love: Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden Present A Unique Love Story This October

Dark Horse Comics has announced a new limited series from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, bestselling writer Christopher Golden, acclaimed artist Matt Smith, colorist Chris O’Halloran, and letterer Clem Robins titled Hellboy In Love. The new five-issue series will bring a unique love story intertwined with an occult adventure from the legendary Hellboy creator according to the publisher.

Dark Horse‘s description of the series reads:

” In the series’ opening tale, the two-part Goblin Night, Hellboy has been assigned to protect a shipment of occult artifacts from a gang of thieving goblins. The artifacts are being transported by train to the British Museum by archaeologist Anastasia Bransfield, and she’s not going to let them go without a fight! Rather than stay behind, she teams up with Hellboy to chase the light-fingered fey through the British countryside and into . . . a local punk show?”

Golden talks about Dr. Anastasia Bransfield’s connection to Hellboy originating in his novel, Hellboy: The Lost Army, saying:

“It’s been twenty-five years since Dr. Anastasia Bransfield first appeared as Hellboy’s ex-girlfriend in my novel Hellboy: The Lost Army. I’ve always thought one of the reasons Mike considered my three Hellboy novels as canon is because of that relationship. Over the years we talked many times about telling the stories of their adventures together, and the day has finally come. It’s Romancing the Stone-style action, occult weirdness, and first love, with gorgeous Matt Smith art! We’re having so much fun!”

Smith also added that Golden and Mignola lured them in simply by sharing the epic story they have planned, saying:

‘‘It starts with a goblin train robbery in the English countryside. There’s also a punk show. These were the first words Christopher Golden told me about the story he and Mike put together, and that’s really all I needed to hear. How could I not be stoked to draw this thing? I’m very grateful to be back with the same creative team as Hellboy: The Bones of Giants.”
