March 2014 marks the twentieth anniversary of Mike
Mignola’s career-defining release of Hellboy:
Seed of Destruction #1. After the character’s somewhat humble beginnings as
an eight-page feature in Dark Horse’s San
Diego Comic Con Comics special, Seed
of Destruction would begin the long life of the beloved “beast of the
apocalypse.”
To celebrate, Dark Horse is
proclaiming March 22, 2014 as “Hellboy Day,” with events happening in comic
shops around the country! Dark Horse is inviting our retail partners to
celebrate with us, by offering up exclusive promotional materials, as well as
ordering discounts on all Hellboy and
BPRD backlist titles.
Additionally, Dark Horse
will produce 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, Fabio Moon, and R.
Sikoryak!
Dark Horse is also pleased to
announce that Meltdown Comics and Collectibles in West Hollywood, CA will be hosting Mike Mignola on March
22! Look for more details to come on the event.
Fans: make sure to tell your
retailer you want your local store to participate in this awesome celebration
today! Retailers: look for the March dated issue of PREVIEWS for details on participation levels, as well as
promotional support being offered by Dark Horse for the event!
Additionally, look for the 20 Years of Hellboy 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 the character
through twenty years of publishing.
