Mike Mignola’s Hellboy will return to Hell in two two-issue miniseries slated for Fall 2026 from Dark Horse Comics.
In Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood, Mignola teams up with artist Cyrille Pomės and colorist Dave Stewart for a story that has Hellboy setting out to rescue a young woman from Hell. The first issue will be released on October 7, 2026, with a cover by Pomés and a variant by Mignola, and the second issue is slated for November 18, with covers by Mignola and Marc Riou.
Hellboy in Hell: Parade of Horrors starts right after the events of Nothing But Blood, with Hellboy heading out for a drink and ending up at the Devil’s funeral. The artist for this series is Márk László, and the first issue will be released on December 16 with a main cover by László and a variant by Mignola.
“I hadn’t planned to return to Hellboy’s HELL — I certainly didn’t think I’d ever let anyone else in there,” Mignola said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “But I love Márk’s work, and when we met he said he wanted to do a story set there. Well, how could I say no? Fortunately, there were a couple big holes between the chapters I’d drawn and I thought Márk would have fun with those two dead soldiers we meet in ‘The Three Gold Whips’ — and he did! I only gave him a rough outline for a story, and he took it from there. And as things took shape, we found a place to introduce a bit more of the history of the place. Every time I think we are done with this thing it seems we find there are just a few more bits and pieces to explore, which I guess is a good thing.”
“Ever since reading Hellboy in Hell, Mike’s version of the place (Hell) always felt like such a fun, rich visual playground to me: all those dark landscapes, the endless, bleak villages, the set of characters lurking inside,” added László. “When I spoke with Mike about what could I do as a next Hellboy project, I knew I wanted to draw a story that is set in there. To my delight, he found a spot between two of the chapters of his original run where I could expand the story a little, and the whole thing was built up from there. It’s all made up of stuff I’m very happy to draw: Hellboy stumbling through parading demons, dancing skeletons, bloody fights, and I even got to draw a few glimpses from the history behind this version of Hell.”
Mignola started a Young Hellboy series earlier this year (see “Mike Mignola Goes Meta in ‘Young Hellboy: Thrilling Sky Adventures’“).
