The Apocalypse is
here, get your gear.
Mike Mignola and
Skelton Crew Studio LLC are excited to announce an exclusive license agreement
to create the Artifact Archive Collection, limited edition prop replicas
spanning the “Hellboy” and “B.P.R.D.” universe.
“I’m approaching
these as pieces that would have been in the pouches of Hellboy’s belt or picked
up in B.P.R.D. members’ travels,” said Israel Skelton, the owner of Skelton
Crew Studio. “The possibilities are almost endless and so awesome.”
Upcoming replicas
include the Elf Shot from “Hellboy: The Wild Hunt,” Bishop Zrinyi’s Button from
“Hellboy: In the Chapel of Moloch” and the Bog Roosh’s Nail from “Hellboy: The
Third Wish.” The first release is planned for winter 2013.
“I’m a huge fan
of Mike’s and I’ve wanted to build these pieces for myself for a while,” said
Skelton. “He is a legend in the industry and a chance to work with Mike and on
this property is such an honor.”
Mignola has been
crafting the Hellboy universe for almost 20 years. Mignola and “Hellboy,”
published by Dark Horse, have been recognized by prestigious Eisner, Harvey
His latest work,
“Hellboy in Hell,” debuted earlier this month.
“I’m very excited
about this,” Mignola said.

been amazing and I couldn’t wrap 2012 in a better way,” said Skelton. “The
world can’t end now — we have too much work to do.”
