In October Mignola and Cyrille Pomรจs present Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood.
In December Mignola and artist Mรกrk Lรกszlรณ team up for Hellboy In Hell: Parade of Horrors.
August 10, 2026 โ Legendary creator Mike Mignola and Dark Horse Comics have devilish plans for Hellboy this winter. In October, Mignola and artist Cyrille Pomรจs (Moon, 6,000 Miles to Freedom) will return to the iconic Hellboy in Hell saga with Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood. Then, in December, Mignola will reunite with Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Time is a River artist Mรกrk Lรกszlรณ for Hellboy In Hell: Parade of Horrors โ a two-issue comic event that finds Hellboy attending the Devilโs funeral. Written by Mignola with art by Lรกszlรณ, colors by Dave Stewart, and letters by Clem Robins, both issues of Hellboy In Hell: Parade of Horrors will feature covers by Lรกszlรณ; with a variant cover from Mignola on issue 1, and Bridgit Connell on issue 2.
โI hadnโt planned to return to Hellboyโs HELL โ I certainly didnโt think Iโd ever let anyone else in there. But I love Mรกrkโs work, and when we met he said he wanted to do a story set there. Well, how could I say no?โ asks Mike Mignola. โFortunately, there were a couple big holes between the chapters Iโd drawn and I thought Mรกrk would have fun with those two dead soldiers we meet in โThe Three Gold Whipsโ โ and he did! I only gave him a rough outline for a story, and he took it from there. And as things took shape, we found a place to introduce a bit more of the history of the place. Every time I think we are done with this thing it seems we find there are just a few more bits and pieces to explore, which I guess is a good thing.โ
First published between 2012โ2016, Hellboy in Hell is a major milestone for the Hellboy Universe that finally revealed the truth about Hellboyโs origins. Now, a decade after its conclusion, Mike Mignola is teaming up with a new generation of artists to expand his vision of Hell.
โEver since reading Hellboy in Hell, Mike’s version of the place (Hell) always felt like such a fun, rich visual playground to me: all those dark landscapes, the endless, bleak villages, the set of characters lurking inside,โ said Lรกszlรณ. โWhen I spoke with Mike about what could I do as a next Hellboy project, I knew I wanted to draw a story that is set in there. To my delight, he found a spot between two of the chapters of his original run where I could expand the story a little, and the whole thing was built up from there. It’s all made up of stuff Iโm very happy to draw: Hellboy stumbling through parading demons, dancing skeletons, bloody fights, and I even got to draw a few glimpses from the history behind this version of Hell.”
Following the events of Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood, Hellboy sets off in search of a drink, but finds himself in a cemetery just in time to witness a macabre procession in honor of Satanโs death. Not all of the demons are happy to see him after their Lordโs murder. This morbid celebration in the pits of Pandemonium will introduce readers to a horrific host of new characters haunting the hallowed halls of Hell and send Hellboy on an all-new adventure in the surreal depths of Mike Mignolaโs singular version of Hell.

About Mike Mignola
Mike Mignola’s fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola’s film Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike’s books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in New York City with his wife.
