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 this second collection of Mike Mignola's acclaimed Hellboy stories, the world's greatest paranormal detective faces a deadly array of mysteries...In 'The Corpse', Hellboy must rescue a baby from the 'little people' of Ireland; in 'The Iron Shoes' a vicious goblin must be stopped; 'A Christmas Underground' sees our hero laying a troubled ghost to rest. The title story sees Hellboy investigating his own past once more, and uncovering even more disturbing details, while 'The Wolves of Saint August' is a contemporary look at the werewolf myth. Finally, in 'Almost Colossus', we discover the origin of a favourite Hellboy character - Roger the Homunculus! With all this and a Hellboy gallery, featuring pin-ups by Kevin Nowlan, Matt Smith, Duncan Fegredo, Dave Johnson, Thierry Robin & B. C. Boyer, this book is a must!

(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Mike Mignola's first two full-length graphic novels were basically two halves of one long story.

"Hellboy Volume 3: The Chained Coffin and Others" is brilliant in a totally different way. This is a whole bunch of short stories that explore Hellboy's less prominent paranormal cases, as well as answering some questions left over from Mignola's longer stories. And we finally get some answers about where the demon-hero actually came from.

The first story involves Hellboy's attempts to get a baby back from the fairy folk -- and to do so, he has to get a dead body buried before daybreak. Problem is, none of the graveyards are willing to take him. Then he has to deal with a very unique fairy with very large iron shoes, the legendary Russian witch known as Baba Yaga, and Hellboy's Yuletide attempts to free a young girl from an underground monster.

Then Hellboy heads to the ruined church where he was found. While he sleeps, he dreams of a dying witch's plea to her children -- a priest and a nun -- to keep her save from "my devil." But the devil that returns wants the witch's chained coffin -- and reveals something about Hellboy's own origins.

And when a priest friend of Hellboy's is brutally killed in a tiny Balkan village, he starts digging into the gruesome history of the mysterious Grenier family -- who were supposedly cursed to become wolves every seven years. Apparently one of the Greniers may still be alive -- and for whatever reason, he's gunning for Hellboy an his friend Kate.

Finally Mignola picks up a loose thread from a prior story -- after losing her fire powers to a strange homunculus, Liz Sherman is slowly dying. To save her, Hellboy sets out to find the homunculus, only to find that his crazed megalomaniac "elder brother" is planning to use Kate to bring a new, vast homuculus body to life...

Mike Mignola is awesome at full-length graphic novels, but his shorter works are even better -- these are lean, compact little action stories with nothing more or less than they need. And it's sort of nice to see Hellboy's more ordinary cases -- a changeling, a werewolf, and a few of the fairies.

Mignola's writing doesn't suffer from the shorter format, especially since he happily adapts some folktales to fit his world. There's wonderfully sick dialogue ("I'VE LOST MY ARRRRRRMMM!" "I'm sorry. Really. But... do you really need it? I mean, you're already dead and we've gotta go...") and some poignant moments (the fate of the fairy folk). Naturally, also plenty of bloody, horrific moments including a gruesome banquet and a chapel haunted by werewolves.

He also takes the chance to wrap up a couple of loose threads -- namely Baba Yaga and her nasty clash with Hellboy in a wrecked graveyard, and Hellboy's search for the homunculus that drained Liz's powers in "Wake the Devil." One is a sequel and one is a flashback, but they show Mignola's attachment to his fictional world.

Hellboy is basically your average investigator in most of these stories -- he goes in, gets the job done and fixes things (occasionally being mistaken for Father Christmas). And Mignola gives us some glimpses into where the "favorite son" may have come from, and the reason why a priest and nun's ghosts were seen earlier in the series. It's pretty ghastly.

Graphic novelists don't usually fare as well in short works, but "Hellboy, Volume 3: The Chained Coffin and Others" is actually better than Mike Mignola's longer works. Definitely a must-read... just not after dark.

5.0étoiles sur 5 best short stories in comics, Mars 9 2004

This review is from: Hellboy Chained Coffin (Paperback)
I recently decided to review a couple of the graphic novels that I thought were the best I had read. This one popped into my head and was one of the handful that made the short list.

Mike Mignola's character, Hellboy, is a devil who works for the BPRD, an X-Files type organization dedicated to protecting the world from the paranormal. For his stories, Mignola draws deeply on mythology, the occult and folklore from around the world. Some characters are familiar, like the villain Rasputin or the mythological Baba Yaga. I had as much fun reading about the underlying myths as I did reading the actual stories.

If you have not read any Hellboy before, you may want to start with the first collection, Seed of Destruction. That being said, you really can't go wrong with this one. I think Mignola's real strength lies in his shorter stories, rather than the 4 or 5 issue ones. Here we have some of his best shorter work and I will say a bit about my two favorites. "The Iron Shoes" is a funny little story about a goblin that lives in a tower and attacks passers-by with his iron boots. Hellboy steps in to investigate. Not a long story and not much dialogue but I like its simplicity. "Almost Colossus" is another gem and tells the second part of the origin of one of Hellboy's partners at the BPRD. Great story from Norse Myths coupled with eye-popping art makes this one a winner. The remainder of the stories are equally good; these are just my personal preferences.

This collection of stories should not be missed by anyone who enjoys comics. Mignola's art is great to look at, somewhat stylized and uses heavy shadows and blacks. His dialogue is great too. Hellboy's dry, witty lines fit him like a glove. Overall a must read.
