Product Description:
Hellboy is one of the most celebrated comics series in recent years. The ultimate artists' artist and a great storyteller whose work is in turns haunting, hilarious, and spellbinding, Mike Mignola has won numerous awards in the comics industry and beyond. When strangeness threatens to engulf the world, a strange man will come to save it. Sent to investigate a mystery with supernatural overtones, Hellboy discovers the secrets of his own origins, and his link to the Nazi occultists who promised Hitler a final solution in the form of a demonic avatar.

- Cool Art-Great story-cheap made book!
Hellboy Seed of Destruction wasn't exactly what I thought it would be. I thought it would follow the original Hellboy movie. Not exactly. But wow, if you love the dark creepy and cool you will love this! I am not going to go into a lot of detail about the story-I would not want to spoil any surprises. What gets me is the artwork-that and I can't get enough of Hellboy,Abe(my favorite) and Liz-for any of the reasons listed above, you can't go wrong. Now here's my problem-I bought two Hellboy novels graphic novels. They didn't last two days before the spine cracks and pages started coming loose. I am not careless with my books either. I have many other graphic novels, these are the only books I've had come apart like that. If the book held together it would get 5 stars from me.

Great story, great art, book fell apart in my hands on the first read through - something that's *never* happened to me before.

- Surprisingly Great Story; Weak Binding
"Hellboy." I first heard the title quite a number of years ago when I saw the trailer for the movie adaptation in a theater. I pretty much scoffed, rolled my eyes, and said "Hellboy?" under my breath. Long story short, time passes, I got into comics, and began to hear a lot of good things about "Hellboy." I even read some quotes from the actual book that intrigued me. However, it was the trailer for the second movie--sheer, unadulterated awesomeness--that pushed me over the edge and made me buy the first volume of the comic series.

Creator and artist Mignola enlisted John Byrne to write the first script for this series, and the team works together very well. Hellboy's attitude and way of looking at things is very entertaining (which keeps his internal dialogue always interesting), but the mythology of this series is pure magic. The sorcerers, Liz, Abe, Hellboy himself, the Lovecraftian beasts, ... Read More

- fantastic
I just got back into comics recently and I can't tell you how wonderful it was to get this book. As I've noted elsewhere, Mignola's plotting and art is just phenomenal. One of the reasons I love Hellboy is because I love the old Hammer horror movies from the 60s and 70s (Horror of Dracula), the Corman "Poe/Lovecraft" movies from the same time like The Haunted Palace / The Tower of London or The Fall of the House of Usher /The Pit and the Pendulum.
