First Published on: Jul 27, 2004
“The Corpse," one of the most celebrated Hellboy stories, not to mention Mike Mignola’s personal favorite, gets a dressing up with a new cover just in time for Hellboy’s big screen debut. While in Ireland, Hellboy helps a family whose baby has been taken by faeries. The thieves demand Hellboy buries their dead friend, a drunken gambler, in hallowed ground. But in the world of Hellboy, nothing is ever as easy as it sounds.
Complemented with behind-the-scenes art from a film sequence inspired by this story, Hellboy: The Corpse is the perfect intro to one of the most acclaimed comics series of all time. As such, this special issue is bargain-priced at 25¢. An ideal way for anyone to get a taste of the horror, before the major motion picture hits screens in April 2004!
Mini-comic/ashcan included with the Hellboy 2-Disc Special Edition DVD when sold via Blockbuster Video.
