Review
Ottakar's Outland Magazine Issue 31, Autumn 2004 : "Rather like an X'-File' investigating the 'X-files', the lantern chinned, wisecracking Hellboy is one of the most endearing heroes to have emerged in comics for a long time, coming across as fresh, inventive, and, above all, highly entertaining."
Product Description
In the second of Titan's fantastic collection of short stories spanning time, space and dimensions, and starring a legion of unforgettable characters, Mike Mignola's world of Hellboy finds its boundaries stretched by an amazing array of comics talent! Within Hellboy: Weird Tales 2 are nerve-jangling horror stories such as 'Long Distance Caller', featuring Hellboy's BPRD colleague, Johann; darkly humorous yarns including 'Theatre of the Dead' and 'Command Performance'; and brooding stories rich in pathos such as 'Shattered' and the continuing adventures of Lobster Johnson. Entertainment Weekly called it "A must for fans of Mike Mignola's retro-cool creation." Weird Tales contributors also number some of the finest names in comics.
