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.

Official Press Release

Chris Roberson’s MEMORIAL Coming in December

Eleven-page preview featured in IDW’s October comics

[Memorial Cover Image]The company that brought you 30 Days of Night and Locke & Key kicks off the holidays with the latest creator-owned series, MEMORIAL. Created and written by New York Times best-selling author and Eisner-nominated creator of iZombie, Chris Roberson, MEMORIAL delivers a magical six-issue story. Providing art for this new series is talented artist Rich Ellis, with covers by the legendary Michael WM Kaluta. An eleven-page preview of this far-reaching series is featured in selected IDW comics this month. A link to the preview can be found here: http://bit.ly/memorialpreview. The preview is also available for free through the IDW Comics app on iTunes, found here: http://bit.ly/idwcomicsapp.

Starting in December, MEMORIAL is the story of Em, a young woman who arrives at a hospital in Portland, Oregon, with no memory of her past. A year later, her newly-rebuilt life is thrown into turmoil after she inherits a magical shop, the kind that appears in an alley one instant and disappears the next. Em is drawn into a supernatural conflict between beings that not only represent, but are, fundamental elements of the universe itself. All of existence is at stake, so there’s only a little pressure on Em, the magical shop, and a talking cat.

Comic veteran Roberson has received two Eisner Award nominations this year for Best Limited Series (Cinderella: From Fabeltown with Love) and Best New Series (iZombie). Readers are encouraged to look for the preview of MEMORIAL #1 in many of IDW’s October comics, including 30 DAYS OF NIGHT #1, COLD WAR #1, DOCTOR WHO #10, H.P.
