Hellboy, Vol. 7: The Troll Witch and Other Stories

yep, it's hellboy. mignola is a brilliant writer. rare type of guy. not as melodic as alan moore or shrewd as neil gaiman, which when i write it out seems unfair. actually, i mean that mignola is right up there with neil gaiman and alan moore if you want my opinion. i'd like for him to write something in a totally different universe, though. anyway, if you're collecting these books, keep collecting them. i get scared when i buy a volume because i read through it so fast. compelling as all hell. get it!

"Hellboy, Volume 7: The Troll Witch and Others" features a variety of tales: some short, some long, some new, some previously published, some pretty straight-forward, some open to interpretation... but all fascinating and fun. A new wrinkle this time is the use of guest artists P. Craig Russell and Richard Corben, who each draw a story. Both deliver the quirks and weirdness you expect, and both are a good fit for Hellboy. And, of course, you get lots of Mike Mignola artwork, too, and the whole book was written by Mike. All this makes Volume 7 of this series a can't-lose proposition: you get plenty of what you happily expect and plenty of little surprises, all of the latter decent and many quite a bit more than that. Hellboy fans shouldn't hesitate.

Five of these are drawn by Mignola and two are not. The stories are all Mignola, though.

it's great that now we can have all the hell boy stories compiled in volumes cause I read them all in single comics so now it's easier

i've been collecting hellboy since i don't know when! and this collection strengthens my conviction in mike mignola and company! keep churning those wonderful stories and artwork!
