While at Comic-Con International in San Diego, IDW Publishing has announced the newest addition to its deluxe line in “Hellboy in Hell and Other Stories: Artist’s Edition.” The ultra-high end collected edition contains the first five issues of “Hellboy in Hell” as well as several stand-alone “Hellboy” stories.
IDW’s Artist’s Edition line scans in artist’s actual art boards and presents them in their natural state (with all the little nuances of the original art visible: Blue pencils, white out, paste-overs, etc.) so that regular fans can have the experience of owning original artwork of famous comics without having to take out a second mortgage to do it.
Hellboy, created by Mike Mignola, debuted in 1993 for Dark Horse Comics and centers on an exiled demon who works for a shadowy government cabal as he hunts down demons and monsters. Over the past 20 years, the character has starred in countless comic series, two animated movies and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman and directed by Guillermo del Toro.
