Mike Mignola Appreciation Thread.

[Afny]

i used to really love Hellboy
then i saw the movie
now i don't really like Hellboy as much anymore
and i have no idea why

it wasn't that bad of a film, just a completely different vibe and rhythm and tone than i had been projecting into the comics
i can't read them anymore without the movie's interpretations creeping in
and that sucks

I really feel for you, because that would have ruined the comics for me. Luckily, I can keep the comic and movie vibes separate.

Also, I'm really sad that Mignola isn't going to be drawing Hellboy for a while, but at least it will be put out faster...maybe...

Mad respeckkkkkkkkkkkkk.

PS love the marvel work he did with Strange and Doom...I want more Mignola asides from Hellboy and BPRD, any real good suggestions?

This is the perfect opportunity to ask why Doctor Strange/ Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment is out of print.

But yeah- Mignola's fantastic.

Man, a copy of this came into my store last month. I've been looking for it for like three years. And my bastard co-worker claimed it. So I waited until he went home, bought it, and said I sold it by mistake. And it was worth it.

And yeah, Mignola's my absolute favourite artist ever. I miss him drawing Hellboy.

Some of the greatest image composition ever.
And Pancakes is the funniest 2 pages in comics history.
I wish Mignola was my dad.

Sweet Christ on a cracker, I needs me some of that.

I've liked Mignola's work since he was drawing features for Marvel Fanfare and the one-two punch of Gotham by Gaslight and Cosmic Odyssey solidified my opinion.

I think his covers are some of the most striking, from a design standpoint, second only to Mike Kaluta's.

Is he drawing much anymore? It'd be a shame if his success, or the success of his creations kept him away from the drawing board.

Last thing I heard on the interweb (from his own forum) was he was quite content at the moment just doing covers, pin-ups and spot illos for a while while he writes books.

There's also rumors abound that he's working on a mini-series not related to the Hellboy Universe. Just a story.

So, until he actually announces a project, no one really knows, except for Oeming ... cause he's buds with Mike and can call and find out, but he won't tell us because he's cruel.

They're usually a set constantly on ebay, that's where I snagged mine for cheap, it'll be collected next year by Darkhorse
