In August and September, Dark Horse Comics will publish a two part Hellboy in Hell story, “The Hounds of Pluto.” It kicks off with a glimpse of England—which loyal readers will remember was the scene of Hellboy‘s death, before it was wiped off the face of the Earth. This is one of the most beautifully drawn and colored sequences Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart have ever done. Now Hellboy, dead and in Hell, falls ill, and seems to be dying. Again. In order to be saved, he makes a deal with a guy on trial for charges he’d rather not discuss. The guy will help, as long as Hellboy agrees to deal with another problem—the strange creature on the cover of Hellboy in Hell #8, inspired by a plastic Halloween decoration of a cat skeleton that Mike found, and decided he had to have.
