Mike Mignola's name may be synonymous with Hellboy, but he's far from the only creator to work in this iconic horror universe. Mignola's career and pop culture influence are the subject of a forthcoming documentary called Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters. Drawing Monsters is currently being crowdfunded on Kickstarter, though the film has already earned several times its funding goal within the first 24 hours.
One of the Kickstarter tiers includes a portfolio set featuring art prints drawn by various Hellboy veterans. Along with a new image by Mignola himself, that creative lineup includes artists Dave Stewart, Laurence Campbell, Duncan Fegredo, Alex Maleev, Fábio Moon, Mike Norton, Paolo Rivera, Craig Rousseau, Tim Sale and Ben Stenbeck. IGN has an exclusive preview of that portfolio set. Check out the slideshow gallery below for a look at the process art for four of these prints, including rough pencils, inked versions and finished, colored images. It's a unique opportunity to see how Hellboy and his world are given life by these talented artists.
Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters is co-directed and produced by ECCC founder Jim Demonakos and Clockwork Girl director Kevin Hanna. The film features behind-the-scenes footage of and interviews with Mignola, along with interviews featuring American Gods creator Neil Gaiman, Steven Universe creator Rebecca Sugar, Victor LaValle (The Ballad Of Black Tom), artist Tara McPherson and comic book creators Vita Ayala, Duncan Fegredo, Fábio Moon, and Joe Quesada. Production on the documentary is currently underway, with the directors aiming for a Spring 2022 release.
“There’s already eighty hours of footage in the can that we have shot over the last year and a half,” said Hanna in a press release. “This is an ambitious in-depth documentary to celebrate Mignola’s legacy in style.”
Mignola fans won't have long to wait for his next project. Hellboy: The Quarantine Sketchbook collects a number of charity sketches Mignola drew in 2020. The book releases in comics shops on March 3 and bookstores on March 16 .with proceeds benefitting Chef José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen.
Mignola is also hard at work expanding his *other* shared horror universe in 2021. Tales From the Outerverse is a new trio of miniseries set in Mignola and Christopher Golden's Baltimore/Joe Golem universe.
While Dark Horse continues to publish new comics set in the wider Hellboy/BPRD universe, the core Hellboy saga reached its dramatic conclusion in 2019 with the release of BPRD: The Devil You Know #15. Find out why we think the Hellboy saga is an unprecedented accomplishment for Mignola and his collaborators.
