“Hellboy” Creator Mike Mignola Returns for “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Time Is a River” One-Shot [Exclusive]

Bloody Disgusting has the first details on a brand new Hellboy adventure from creator Mike Mignola!

Arriving at retailers this July is the “Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Time Is a River” one-shot, penned by Mignola and drawn by Márk László.

When Hellboy accidentally left eclectic academic Lajos in a ghostly version of Budapest in “The Miser’s Gift,” he didn’t realize how far-reaching the consequences would be! As timelines get crossed, reality starts to crumble and Hellboy must return to the ghostly city to recover Lajos before it’s too late.

Mike Mignola and Márk László, along with colorist Dave Stewart, return with an explosive one-shot to continue the story they began in “The Miser’s Gift,” part of the “Hellboy Winter Special” from January 2020.

Credits: Mike Mignola (w/Variant), Márk László (a/Cover), Dave Stewart (c), Clem Robins (l). Release: July 20, 2022.

“Drawing my favorite comic book character getting lost in the city I live in is probably the most surreal thing that’s ever happened to me, and this story is definitely a surreal one,” Márk Lázlo tells Bloody Disgusting. “Hellboy learns that what the old crazy professor said in ‘The Miser’s Gift’ is true: Time is not built upon a rock, time is much more like a river. And as the Danube River’s great flood of 1838 repeats itself in the ghost version of Budapest, Hellboy has to fight his way through the phantoms and monsters lurking in the shadows of the sunken city to save the professor and himself. I hope readers will have at least half as much fun reading it as I had drawing it.”

Adds Dark Horse Editor Katii O’Brien: “Márk made his ‘Hellboy’ universe debut with a short set in Hungary that ran in our ‘Hellboy Winter Special’ a few years back, and while the ghosts in the story were put to rest, one of our characters got left behind in a ghostly Budapest. We couldn’t just leave him there, so Mike and Márk collaborated again to send Hellboy back for the unlucky professor before the ghostly city tries to keep him for itself.”
