Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and superstar artist Duncan Fegredo have created some of the most iconic Hellboy Universe stories of all time, including Hellboy: The Wild Hunt, Hellboy: The Storm and The Fury, and 2023’s acclaimed Giant Robot Hellboy. Now they’re reuniting with Eisner Award-winning colorist Dave Stewart and longtime Hellboy Universe letterer Clem Robins for Giant Robot Hellboy Returns, a two issue comic book event that comes to comic shops today, July 22.

After Hellboy is kidnapped and connected to a massive mecha-Hellboy for a mission on a mysterious, faraway island, Giant Robot Hellboy disappears.

Letterer: Clem Robins
Cover artist: Ben Stenbeck with Dave Stewart
The Skinless Man leaves a trail of bodies in his wake as he pursues the warlocks who betrayed him—but each time he fells one foe, another appears in his path. He will fight against his fate in battle after bloody battle in this gruesome conclusion!
“The Skinless Man” marks Stenbeck’s first story in the horror-fantasy Lands Unknown universe, co-created with Hellboy’s Mike Mignola.
This November, trailblazing cartoonist and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola will release his third original graphic novel in two years. Following the success of 2025’s Bram Stoker Award-nominated Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown and this year’s Uri Tupka and the Gods, Mignola is expanding the Lands Unknown Universe he’s creating with cartoonist Ben Stenbeck with a new folktale anthology exploring the origins of legends of this strange new shared universe. Written and drawn by Mignola with colors from Dave Stewart and letters from Clem Robins, Uri Tupka and the Devils is due out in November from Dark Horse Comics.
Picking up after the events of Uri Tupka and the Gods, Uri Tupka and the Devils follows the weary hero on a new quest for the secret history of the universe. After his search for the ancient gods ended with some answers and even more questions, heretic and theologian Uri Tupka travels further to discover the truth about the darkness before the world began and what it means for mankind. He visits a Baron’s library full of esoteric books beyond even Uri’s imagination. Each night in the library brings new insight and clarity, but threatens to consume Uri as his unquenchable desire for understanding sends him down a dangerous path.
Uri Tupka and the Devils is a 104-page hardcover that will be released in bookstores and comic shops on November 16, 2026.

Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #1
Writer: Ben Stenbeck
Artist: Ben Stenbeck
Colorist: Dave Stewart
Letterer: Clem Robins
Cover artist: Ben Stenbeck with Dave Stewart
A stormy night in the mountains forces a lone traveler to take shelter in a witch’s house, where the witch spins a yarn of the mysterious and merciless Skinless Man who is in pursuit of new skin at any cost, and the gang of warlocks who were foolish enough to try to deceive him.
“The Skinless Man” marks Stenbeck’s first story in the horror-fantasy Lands Unknown universe, co-created with Hellboy’s Mike Mignola.
Fans first encountered legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Ben Stenbeck’s visionary new shared universe in Mignola’s bestselling Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown. The anthology of folklore-inspired fantasy stories welcomed readers into a beautifully drawn world of powerful sorcerers, talking ducks, undead adventurers, and a host of imaginative, idiosyncratic characters, myths, and legends. Now Ben Stenbeck, the writer/artist of the acclaimed series Our Bones Dust, is making his Lands Unknown debut writing and drawing The Skinless Man, a two-issue comic event. Joined by colorist Dave Stewart and letterer Clem Robins, Stenbeck will give readers a glimpse into the terrifying side of the Lands Unknown. Both issues of The Skinless Man will feature covers by Stenbeck and the first issue will feature a variant cover by Mike Mignola.
While Mignola’s Bowling With Corpses explores the fantastical, charming side of the Lands Unknown, The Skinless Man #1 is a nightmarish horror story. When a stormy night in the mountains forces a lone traveler to take shelter in a witch’s house, she spins a chilling yarn of the mysterious and merciless Skinless Man, who is in pursuit of new skin at any cost. When a gang of warlocks is foolish enough to try to deceive him, they learn just how far he’s willing to go.
In addition to Stenbeck’s upcoming comic, the Lands Unknown universe continues to expand in Mike Mignola’s upcoming graphic novel. Uri Tupka and The Gods: Another Story from Lands Unknown follows the titular wayward theologian across the Lands Unknown on a quest to prove that ancient powerful gods shaped the world. Uri’s journey puts him face to face with mythical creatures, thieves, dragons, and a tomb of unspeakable horror. But nothing can prepare the unlikely adventurer for what he learns about the universe and his role in it.
Uri Tupka and the Gods: Another Story from Lands Unknown is a 104-page hardcover that will be released in bookstores and comic shops on February 24, 2026. Lands Unknown: The Skinless Man #1 is due out on March 4, 2026.
Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is teaming up with writer and artist Bruce Zick to explore an uncharted corner of the Hellboy Universe in Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time.

Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time follows an intrepid time-travelling explorer on a journey to a new dimension. He soon discovers that the monsters he encounters aren’t his only problem, as time itself might represent the ultimate danger.
The 32-page Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time #1 is due out on Oct 22, 2025 from Dark Horse.
