Mike Mignola

Mike Mignola is the creator of Hellboy, one of the most critically acclaimed independent comics franchises of the modern era. After an early career drawing Marvel and DC titles, he launched Hellboy at Dark Horse Comics in 1993, developing a distinctive visual style characterised by heavy blacks, geometric shadow play and an economy of line derived from artists including Jack Kirby and Alex Toth. His broader Mignolaverse now encompasses B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson and multiple film adaptations.
