Michael Mignola ( / mɪn - ˈjoʊ - lə /; born September 16, 1960) [ 1] is an American comic book artist and writer best known for creating Hellboy for Dark Horse Comics, part of a shared universe of titles including B.P.R.D., Abe Sapien, Lobster Johnson, and various spin-offs.
- Hellboy. Mignola's expansive Hellboy universe begins, of course, with Hellboy, his most famous comic.

- B.P.R.D. As mentioned above, Hellboy's success and popularity among comic readers resulted in Mignola expanding his universe, following new characters, pursuing storylines aside from just Hellboy's alone.
- Abe Sapien. Fans probably remember Abe Sapien as the blue-skinned Creature from the Black Lagoon-type character played by Doug Jones in del Toro's Hellboy movies Sapien was one of the original characters introduced in Hellboy alongside the eponymous hero.
- Lobster Johnson. The character of Lobster Johnson originally appeared in a single Hellboy story within Hellboy's "Box of Evil" arch. When he first appears, he is introduced as the ghost of a vigilante active in 1930s New York City, known for burning his signature lobster claw on criminals' foreheads.
