Mike Mignola + Giuseppe Manunta bring a prose Hellboy story to comics

The one-shot ‘Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Professor Harvey is Gone’ is based on a ‘Weird Tales’ story by Mignola and Christopher Golden.

A prose Hellboy story by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden will find new life in comics, as Mignola and artist Giuseppe Manunta team up for the one-shot Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Professor Harvey is Gone.

The story originally appeared in the prose magazine Weird Tales, but Mignola said he reworked it into a comic script for Manunta to draw.

“I’m a big fan of Giuseppe’s work so I was thrilled when he told me he wanted to do a Hellboy story—the only problem was that I had sort of (finally) run out of Hellboy stories,” Mignola said. ”My head is so much in my new Lands Unknown series now that for a while I was really drawing a blank. Then I remembered a plot I had given to Chris Golden a while back. He wrote it up as a Hellboy story for Weird Tales magazine (The City in the Sea—Weird Tales issue 367) but that was an unillustrated prose story and there were (I thought) some terrific visuals in that story so I thought Giuseppe would be a terrific artist to put those on paper. So I reworked that original story and idea, and turned it over to Giuseppe to work his magic.”
