Young Hellboy takes to the skies in a new pulp adventure

Mike Mignola reunites with Thomas E. Sniegoski and Craig Rousseau for a miniseries spotlighting Scarlett Santiago and a high-flying chapter from Hellboy’s youth.

Mike Mignola is heading back to Hellboy’s formative years, reuniting with co-writer Thomas Sniegoski and artist Craig Rousseau for an all-new, high-flying adventure. Young Hellboy: Thrilling Sky Adventures is a four-issue miniseries that expands on the early days of Hellboy’s world while keeping one eye firmly on classic adventure storytelling.

Rousseau will be joined by colorist Chris O’Halloran and letterer Clem Robins, on this lighter Hellboy story, which kicks off in May.

The series brings back Scarlett Santiago, the swashbuckling airborne hero first introduced in 2021’s Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land, where she teamed with Hellboy and Professor Bruttenholm on an island crawling with monsters and vampires.

“Since wrapping up the Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land, I’d been thinking about Scarlett Santiago, the Sky Devil, and how much we still didn’t know about her past adventures (before being possessed by the spirit of a giant ape god),” Sniegoski said. “I was hoping that there would be a way to tell some of Sky Devil’s earlier exploits, and with Thrilling Sky Adventures, we’re getting to do just that.  The whole team has excitedly returned, Mike Mignola and I coming up with the story, Craig Rousseau on art, Chris O’Halloran on colors and Clem Robins doing the lettering.  The series is coming out great, and I can’t wait for folks to be immersed in its pulpy goodness!”
