Fans can explore the legendary comic series like never before by scanning the pins with the Pinfinity app to unlock comic pages, animated content, and more.
In artwork, chiaroscuro is the use of strong contrast in light and dark. Few artists have mastered the technique as skillfully as Mike Mignola, whose work is as effective in black and white as it is in color. This is why Dark Horse has partnered with The Press Room in Austin, TX on a run of specialty crafted Hellboy Letterpress Print Sets. This bundle of five (5) 4-inch by 6-inch prints features black and white Hellboy illustrations by Mike Mignola printed on an original 1955 Vandercook 219AB press on heavy 100lb cover stock. Limited to just 666 sets available, this gorgeous collection comes complete with a hand-numbered, letterpress printed, red belly-band.
The Hellboy Seed of Destruction #1 30th Anniversary Convention Exclusive Variant is a limited Edition of 1500 copies for $25 and is limited to 5 copies per person per day. Limited to 300 copies, The Goon, Hellboy, and Usagi Yojimbo Anniversary Print is $50. The Hellboy 30th Anniversary Pinfinity Set and the Hellboy Letterpress Set are both $40.
