Mignola bros release THE CROWN: A TALE OF HELL
>Mike and Todd Mignola join forces with artist Warwick Johnson-Cadwell for The Crown: A Tale of Hell, a thrilling family reunion for the Hellboy creators and their characters.

>Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and his brother Todd Mignola ("Hellboy: The Exorcist of Vorsk") are teaming up with artist Warwick Johnson-Cadwell (Our Encounters with Evil) for a hellacious family reunion for the creators and their characters in The Crown: A Tale of Hell. Starring Hellboy's brothers and their mother, the two-issue comic event will feature covers by Johnson-Cadwell and variant covers by Mignola and Bruno Seelig.

>"Todd came to me with the idea of writing something about Hellboy's brothers," explains Mike Mignola. "It never would have occurred to me to do more with those guys but it didn't take much prodding. Brothers writing about brothers in a somewhat complicated family dynamic—once we got going it was almost too easy. And fun. And SO MUCH fun that I could only imagine it drawn by Warwick."

>"The Crown follows a day in the 16th century life of Hellboy's 'Hell family.'" says Todd Mignola. "In the bowels of Castle Azzael, a crown is secretly being forged for a new king. Palace intrigue and deceitful backstabbing ensue as Hellboy's dad, uncle and half-brothers all vie for the prize; for the chance to seize sleeping Satan's throne."

>Variant by Mike MignolaThe Crown: A Tale of Hell stars Hellboy's brothers Gamon and Lusk, who first appeared in Mignola's beloved 2012 series Hellboy in Hell, as they fight for control of Pandemonium in this demonic family reunion. But it isn't just the siblings who get involved in the power struggle, as their mother returns from her prison for the first time in a hundred years with plans of her own.

>"I love where Todd and Mike are taking us with The Crown: A Tale Of Hell." says Johnson-Cadwell. "I'm so grateful to have worked with Mike on Mr. Higgins and the Encounters With Evil books, but this is a step into the Hellboy universe and the opportunity to draw some of those legendary characters. And more exciting still, to introduce someone altogether new."

>The Crown: A Tale of Hell #1 is due out on February 11, 2026 from Dark Horse Comics.

>Mike Mignola’s original art comes to life in new Artist’s Edition

>An Artist’s Edition reproduces original comic art in its true size and detail, with full-color scans that reveal every nuance.

>Skybound and Image Comics, in collaboration with Scott Dunbier’s Act 4 Publishing, have unveiled a first look at Mike Mignola’s Hellboy in Hell Book 2 Artist’s Edition — a stunning oversized collection showcasing Mignola’s original artwork as it appeared on the drawing board. The edition arrives March 25, 2026.

>Mignola, best known as the visionary creator of Hellboy and one of comics’ most influential artists, built his reputation on acclaimed work for Batman, Doctor Strange, and Wolverine before crafting his signature demonic hero. Over 30 years later, Hellboy remains a defining force in modern comics.

>“I’ve been fortunate to know and occasionally work with Mike Mignola for decades,” said Scott Dunbier. “His command of light, shadow, and storytelling remains unmatched. If there were ever a printed ‘Ted Talk,’ this book would be it.”

>Spanning over 180 pages, the Artist’s Edition collects the final five issues of Hellboy in Hell (#6–10), along with a selection of covers and rare illustrations presented in their raw, unfiltered form. The volume also includes an introduction by Hellboy logo designer Kevin Nowlan and an afterword by veteran artist Steve Purcell, both offering personal reflections on Mignola’s artistic legacy.

>Unlike traditional collected editions, an Artist’s Edition reproduces original comic art in its true size and detail, with full-color scans that reveal every nuance — from brush textures and ink gradients to blue pencil lines and whiteout marks — giving readers an intimate, behind-the-scenes view of the creative process.

Mike is an artist, not a writer.

He keeps writing comics but doesn't draw them, when his forte is his art and he's kind of a shit writer.
