Hellboy + Anastasia’s adventures continue in ‘Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire’

Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden and Alex Nieto bring a hunka hunka burnin’ love back to the Hellboy universe.

Dark Horse Comics has announced the two-issue miniseries Hellboy in Love: The Art of Fire by Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden and Alex Nieto. The series will continue to explore the romance (how sweet!) between Hellboy and the archeologist Anastasia Bransfield, as they had to romantic Iceland (Oh!) to stop a network of occultists (Ahhh … waitaminute, that doesn’t too nice … ).

The Art of Fire follows 2023″ Hellboy and Love, and will feature lettering by Clem Robins.

“We’re having so much damn fun with this series,” Golden said. “Sending Hellboy on these romantic adventures with Anastasia fills in a vital missing era of his life, but Anastasia’s own research is also illuminating some key elements of the Mignolaverse’s ancient history. We’re digging into that more in this two-shot. Readers are going to love Alex Nieto’s gorgeous, playful take on Hellboy and Anastasia…and the evil at the root of Anastasia’s story!”

Love is quite literally Hell in the new miniseries ‘Hellboy in Love’

Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Matt Smith, Chris O’Halloran and Clem Robins tell a story filled with love, ex-girlfriends, punk rock and goblin train robberies.

It’s all about the love in a new miniseries coming from the creative team of Hellboy: The Bones of Giants. Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden, Matt Smith, Chris O’Halloran, and Clem Robins reunite for Hellboy in Love, a five-issue series that also reunites Hellboy with Dr. Anastasia Bransfield, his ex-girlfriend from the novel Hellboy: The Lost Army.

“It’s been 25 years since Dr. Anastasia Bransfield first appeared as Hellboy’s ex-girlfriend in my novel Hellboy: The Lost Army,” Golden, who wrote the novel, said. “I’ve always thought one of the reasons Mike considered my three Hellboy novels as canon is because of that relationship. Over the years we talked many times about telling the stories of their adventures together, and the day has finally come. It’s Romancing the Stone-style action, occult weirdness, and first love, with gorgeous Matt Smith art! We’re having so much fun!”
