March 22, 1994 was the debut of Hellboy: Seed of Destruction #1, the first appearance of Mike Mignola’s now-iconic character. There have been special things going on all over as detailed by Dark Horse Comics, today there are giveaways and brimstone and kittens and stuff. Find participating retailers in the link above.
I have to say as much as I love Hellboy is is these chocolates that most excited me. Dark Horse really knows how to run a merchandise line!
In addition to a slew of exclusive giveaways, Dark Horse has produced an all-new sampler comic featuring two classic Mignola tales, “The Ghoul” and “Another Day at the Office,” as well as two new stories by Mignola, Fábio Moon, and R. Sikoryak!
Additionally, as part of this special promotion, participating retailers were entered to win an original piece of art from Mike Mignola. This special honor goes to Hot Comics and Collectibles in New Hope, Minnesota!
Look for the Hellboy: The First 20 Years hardcover collection, on sale in comic shops everywhere on March 19! This deluxe oversized hardcover presents Mignola’s favorite covers and illustrations in gallery style, from his first drawing of Hellboy through twenty years of publishing.
Dark Horse Digital has Hellboy Day offerings as well, with the Hellboy MegaBundle Sale and the Mike Mignola Sale!
Nothing against chocolate, but I would have expected Hellboy Day to be celebrated with pancakes…
Isnt chocolate what brought down Kitchen Sink Press?
Thanks Heidi…The chocolates were not done by Dark Horse but by Meltdown Comics and Sweets Los Angeles…
Is there a reason why the front page of The Beat seems to have been stuck in time?
(Not that I don’t love Hellboy and think its great that he’s getting extra exposure by being at the top of the homepage, mind you.)
