Legendary Hellboy Creator Mike Mignola Reunites with Chris Roberson and Michael Avon Oeming to Explore Psychedelic 60s Spy-fi Action in Ghost of a Ghost

Comics Legend Mike Mignola and Hellboy Universe veteran writer and iZombie creator Chris Roberson are teaming up with superstar artist Michael Avon Oeming for Ghost of a Ghost, an all-new 4-issue limited series spinning out of Giant Robot Hellboy. Written by Mignola and Roberson with art by Oeming, colors by Taki Soma, and lettered by Clem Robins, the series chronicles Agent Jian’s psychedelic 1960s adventures. Ghost of a Ghost #1 will feature a cover by Oeming and a variant cover by Dave Johnson, with subsequent variant covers by Kevin Nowlan, Elsa Charretier, and Michael Cho.

Fans first met superspy Agent Jian in Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo’s 2023 Giant Robot Hellboy, where she was exposed to enkeladite – the radiated substance known to cause sometimes monstrous mutations. Now, she’s working with a mysterious spy ring and using her newfound powers to keep enkeladite from falling into the wrong hands – but just whose hands are the wrong ones is harder to determine than she thought.

Ghost of a Ghost #1 is due out on September 23, 2026.
