Over the span of his career, Mike Mignola has become one of comics’ most influential creators. Beginning in 1982 as an artist for Marvel and DC Comics, he evolved into a singular creative vision shaped by Victorian supernatural literature and European folklore. That vision culminated in Hellboy, launched through Dark Horse Comics in 1994, a landmark series that helped redefine independent comics and grew into the expansive “Mignolaverse.” Marked by stark minimalism, heavy shadows, and masterful use of negative space, drawing from German Expressionism and woodblock printing. His work is instantly recognizable, extending beyond Hellboy to cult favorites like The Amazing Screw-On Head and collaborations such as Baltimore, and earning him numerous Eisner and Harvey Awards while cementing his legacy as a defining storyteller of the modern era.

Si Spurrier and Christopher Mitten Reimagine King Arthur in Rampant Swine

Posted on by

Behind every legend is a true story, and it’s often much bloodier than imagined. Ignition Press has announced Rampant Swine, a savage and subversive reimagining of an Arthurian legend in the tradition of Conan the Barbarian from Si Spurrier and Christopher Mitten.

In a Britain forged in blood, mud, magic, and monsters, the legendary King Arthur is a brutal warlord surrounded by his knights who are every bit as savage, strange, and legendary as the world they inhabit. 

When the young knight Culhwch arrives at Arthur’s fortress pleading for help in completing 39 impossible tasks assigned him by the giant Ysbaddaden to win the hand of his beautiful daughter Olwen, he and Arthur’s warriors embark on an incredible quest of giant slaying, monstrous boar hunting, and magical treasure theft, as they battle their way through a dying age of myth.

But beneath the bloodshed and barbarism, something isn’t right. Because every great legend has a story beneath the story—and King Arthur was never meant to be this kind of hero.

Rampant Swine #1 will be available in comic shops November 25th, 2026 from co-creators Si Spurrier and Christopher Mitten, with colors by Brennan Wagner and letters by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou. This issue features two open-to-order covers from series artist Mitten and Joëlle Jones, along with a 1-in-10 retailer incentive by comics legend Mike Mignola.
