Pressestimmen
Ottakar's Outland Magazine Issue 31, Autumn 2004 : "Rather like an X'-File' investigating the 'X-files', the lantern chinned, wisecracking Hellboy is one of the most endearing heroes to have emerged in comics for a long time, coming across as fresh, inventive, and, above all, highly entertaining."

I've heard and read reviews of this book that seemed to come from the outside. The "outside" being people who are trying too hard to legitimize something that makes no excuses for itself. Hellboy is and always has been a quirky, dark, gothic adventure that is visually stunning as well as primal and disturbing. This collection is an intriguing effort. It has no complete story to tell. Rating each story is futile since the themes vary as well as the design and purpose for each story. Some are an excuse to show Hellboy in an outlandish conflict while others have moments that touch me to the core so profound is the effect of specific sequences. There lies the surprise. No solid premise is present in these little stories. They're like a sketchbook. Some rough ideas are presented as well as finely crafted "images". Every one was written and drawn with a purpose but there's no effort to weave them together in a sequence. The tone in a story like The Chained Coffin is so different from The Corpse that, other than the main character, they share little in common. However, even as they share so little in content, they both speak of a world in the shadow of our own. The world Mike Mignola has created is as sharp as a knife blade cutting across your palm and as subtle as the wings in the night. So eclectic is this collection that it is the perfect introduction to Mignola's creation, Hellboy. Hellboy is brusque, loyal, funny, profound, conflicted and committed. He is all of these and more while uttering few words between blasts of combative, bloody, violence in a nighted world of ancient evil and devious purpose. I wish more writers could do so much with what, sometimes, appears to be so little.

Well what can I say about this book!It's a compilation of stories that have been published in Dark Horse Presents or in other titles.Some stories are great and other stories suck.I'll rate the stories seperately. The Corpse:5/5 The most COOL Hellboy story ever told! The Iron Shoes:2/5 Lame Story.The worst I 've ever read. The Baba Yaga :4/5 First published here.How Baba Yaga lost an eyeball and why she knows Hellboy. A Christmas Underground:3/5 First published in Christmas Special, a little boring story.It will remind you of vampires. The Chained Coffin:5/5 Another great story!Meet the DAD!!! of Hellboy. The Wolves Of Saint August:3/5 First published in DHP.Werewoves in an abandoned village. Almost Collossus 5/5: The story of Homunculus who was first shown in Wake The Devil.

In my opinion, the greatest Hellboy story was, and still is, "Seed of Destruction." THe artword in that book was dark, moody, and suggestive of all sorts of lurking horrors. The worst moments, I felt, tended to be whenver Hellboy just exchanged blows with another beastie for eight pages...the story by John Byrne (and here's the rhub)slowed to a halt. This is the key when writing horror fiction; suspense must be held through whatever means, though most often it is the words which must make the difference. In "The Chained Coffin", some of the stories work. "The Corpse" is a delightfully gruesome retelling of various Irish and English myths, with some wonderful dialogue (imagine carrying around a corpse that constantly refers to you as "Granny" for an entire night). "Almost COlossus" works best as a tragic tale of estranged brothers (and the final fight does kick ass...) and "The Chained Coffin" is, simply, an essential Hellboy origin story. The other tales tend to be excuses for fantastic fight sequences ("The Wolves...has its moments, but half the story IS a fight sequence!), and perhaps could have beneffited from another scripter coming in and assiting Mignola, while Mignola focuses on what he does best: artwork we can't help but be stunned at.
