Happy Birthday, Mike Mignola! (Hellboy)
Mike Mignola, best known as the artist and creator of Hellboy, turns the big five-oh (50) today and The Weirding wishes him a very happy birthday! Mignola started turning heads back in the late 80s with his work on Big Two titles such as Alpha Flight, The Incredible Hulk, and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight and numerous comic book covers. In 1993, Mike Mignola teamed with other industry heavyweights, such as John Byrne and Frank Miller, to create the Legend imprint under the Dark Horse banner, under which he released Hellboy in 1994.
Mike Mignola continues to write and contribute to Hellboy, which now spans several graphic novels and a number of ongoing titles. He has also written a novel and worked on several Hollywood films (including two adaptations based on his Hellboy series).
Happy birthday, Mikey boy!

Hellboy BPRD
Mike Mignola is one of my favorite artists of all time. He has this distinctive, chunky style that's both hyper-realistic and cartoonish. It's one of those styles that once you see his work, you know immediately, "That's Mignola!" This is an official Dark Horse press release:
Comics guru Mike Mignola teams up with rising star Josh Dysart (Swamp Thing, Conan and the Midnight God) for one of the most intriguing and revealing tales in the Hellboy Universe. BPRD: 1946 is the story of the early days of the Bureau and the quest for answers that explain, among other things, the enigmatic Hellboy’s apocalyptic origin.
In the wake of the second world war, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm—occult investigator and guardian of the infant Hellboy—founded the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense to investigate and defuse the remains of the Axis' sophisticated occult warfare projects and potential Soviet threats. Now, outfitted with a small band of war-weary Allied soldiers, Bruttenholm begins to unravel the mystery of the Nazi Occult Bureau's greatest and most threatening initiatives: Project Vampir Sturm.
“Hopefully this will be the first of several books showing the evolution of the BPRD from a three- or four-man organization to something more like what it is now,” says Mignola “The focus here is on Bruttenholm, looking into the mystery of Hellboy and dealing with the changing occult world, as the Nazi occult projects fall into the hands of the Russians.”
Rounding out the bill on the latest chapter in the BPRD story is the always on-point, indy artist/colorist team Paul Azaceta and Nick Filardi (Potter’s Field, Grounded) on their third project together.
BPRD: 1946 #1 (of 5) hits the streets on January 9, 2008 with an SRP of $2.99.

Abe Sapien Gets His Own Series!
I was wrong about not getting press releases from good ol' Dark Horse! Here's one now, in fact:
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola teams up with Eisner-nominated artist Jason Shawn Alexander (Damn Nation, The Secret, The Escapists) for a five-part miniseries featuring Abe Sapien, the second most popular character from Mignola’s Hellboy books, on his first solo assignment. Abe Sapien: The Drowning promises to be chock-full of adventure and suspense in the tradition of the most revered Hellboy stories.
A century ago, paranormal investigator Edward Grey fought and destroyed a powerful warlock off the island of Saint Sebastian. In the early 1980s, the B.P.R.D.’s special agent Abe Sapien was sent to retrieve the warlock’s remains. This simple mission turns to disaster and Abe Sapien finds himself alone against supernatural forces older than mankind.
“I realized recently that while we are learning a lot now in B.P.R.D. about Abe’s origin and the human being he used to be, we know almost nothing about what he was doing in his early years as a B.P.R.D. agent. I thought it would be nice to see his first case where he really has to work on his own, without being in Hellboy’s shadow,” says Mignola, “And I wanted to work with Jason Alexander for years and he’s the perfect artist for the weird atmosphere I needed for this story.”
Abe Sapien: The Drowning will be flooding retail establishments in January 2008, with a price tag of $2.99.
