The book of the week (for me that is). Could not put it down, Amazing artwork & storytelling quite accurate too. 7th book in a series, My first.
A one off story that tells of the legend of (Boudicca's Hag) witch. Won't go into detail but Whoa! what a fun read,
Fantastically creepy & Hellboy see's again some things even he is amazed by...lets you know about it to Lol.
Hangings witches skeletons & Rotten Romans that's my Horrible Histories gag :)
No literally they come out of the ground & fight Hellboy. Until Professor Trevor convinces them to attack the hag instead & end the conflict.
The book ends with a short story about a old pub that has it's name changed from Whistling Pig to Raw-head & Bloody Bones Old long dead grave robbers. The pub is haunted by the two. Hellboy & the Professor convince the new owners to burn the sign...Just as the actual ghosts appear. They two burn up in smoke surpriseing everyone. A moment passes & Hellboy says" That was some-thing".
Mike Mignola you are the man.
Rating 10/10.
I love Mignola's writing.
ReplyDeleteI take it there is no Witchfinder story in there?
One needs Mignola after reading all this new stuff. It bring you back down to earth!
ReplyDeleteI need to track down more of them now, (so hard to find Hellboy stuff).
