Mike Mignola’s latest artwork is heading from the gallery wall to bookstore shelves this fall.
Act 4 Publishing, in partnership with Skybound Entertainment and Image Comics, has announced Circus of Bones: The Art of Mike Mignola, a 144-page hardcover collecting more than 145 pieces of original artwork created by the Hellboy creator. The book serves as the official catalog for Mignola’s upcoming exhibition at New York City’s Philippe Labaune Gallery, dates for which have not been announced yet.
The collection includes 53 new watercolor paintings created specifically for the exhibition, more than 60 published covers and interior pages, and more than 30 previously unpublished pencil and ink drawings. Every piece was scanned directly from the original artwork.
“I’m very excited about this book—especially the color pieces,” Mignola said. “All of these are new, done entirely for this show, and represent what I think is some of the best work I’ve done.”
The release continues Act 4 Publishing’s line of premium Artist’s Edition-style books produced in partnership with Skybound, joining collections spotlighting Steve Ditko, George Pérez, Paul Smith, Daniel Warren Johnson and more
Circus of Bones: The Art of Mike Mignola arrives in stores Nov. 25.
