Mike Mignola and Bruce Zick Unveil New Dimension of the Hellboy Universe in Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time

Posted on by

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. Co-written by Mignola and Zick, with art by Zick, and letters from Clem Robins, this four-issue miniseries will feature covers by Zick with variant covers from Mike Mignola, Troy Nixey, Ben Stenbeck, and Michael Wm Kaluta.

On a dark night in 1880s England, the ever-adventurous Whittier family, along with Edward Grey, are attempting to send a man into the realm between reality and the Beyond to free the trapped spirit of a Whittier uncle. But his expedition into space—and time—will take him to places beyond even the Witchfinder’s knowledge. 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.

After the incredible success of Mike Mignola’s Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown, we have the exclusive news that Dark Horse Comics is rushing a second printing of the critically acclaimed graphic novel. The anthology of folklore-inspired fantasy stories written and illustrated by Mignola, colored by Dave Stewart, and lettered by Clem Robins is the first publication from Curious Objects, Mignola’s new imprint at Dark Horse and will set the stage for more weird, wicked, and whimsical stories in the “Lands Unknown” universe from Mignola and frequent collaborator Ben Stenbeck.

In Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown, the stories are fantastical, odd and charming — from a search for the beating heart of a long-dead sorcerer, to a pirate girl who makes a deal with the devil, to the titular boy who wins a grim prize in a game with undead interlopers. 

Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown is a 112-page hardcover that  is available now. Get it from Amazon, Bookshop, your local comic shop and bookstore, and more!
