During the coronavirus quarantine, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola posted original pencil sketches online and auctioned off the art to raise money for José Andres’ World Central Kitchen. The sketches went viral and were the talk of the comics internet.
Now those sketches are published in print for the first time, with all profits going to the World Central Kitchen.
This new, oversized hardcover collection is a must have for Mignola readers and art fans alike. The book features an introduction by Christine Mignola, alongside sketches of Hellboy, beloved and unexpected pop culture characters, macabre chess pieces, gothic vegetable creatures, strange vampires, and more.
Because I follow Mike Mignola on twitter, I’ve been treated to a regular posting of these lovely sketches ever since he started posted them online, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover the volume and quantity of sketches collected in this hardcover book is quite a big more than I anticipated. Fans of Mike Mignola’s art work will no doubt want to pick this up, and it would certainly interest anyone with a keen interest in sketching or illustration as well. Highly recommended.
I also recommend Mike Mignola’s other art books – Art Of Hellboy and Hellboy : The First 20 Years.

I’m curious if you had a chance to participate with crowd funding the Mike Mignola documentary on kickstarter?

Steelo – I did follow the kickstarter but I did not fund it in the end. Hopefully a video distributor will release the documentary at a lower price in the near future.
