DISCUSSION

Hellboy Volume 03: The Chained Coffin and Others (Hellboy Library Volume 2)

Mike Mignola's story notes accompany the long out-of-print stories, giving insight into their creation and inspiration. Some consider Mignola's short stories better than the full-length novels, and this collection makes a strong argument for that, especially with Mignola's masterpiece, "The Corpse."

Show notes

In Episode 672, it’s the return of Michael Moreci from The Awakened graphic novel from Zoop.gg along with a holiday tradition!

Michael and I talk about this timely original graphic novel from him, Alex Segura, and Dean Kotz. The series is described this way: “The Awakened is a character-driven superhero epic in the vein of The Golden Age, Supreme Power, Black Hammer, and Astro City! It is collected here in trade paperback format for the first time!” We discuss how this book came to be, what else Michael is working on, and the importance of this story for today’s world. The Zoop.gg crowdfunding project for this book will be concluding in early January of 2025. Don’t wait--be sure to back this excellent project as soon as you finish listening to this great interview!

Then everything wraps up with my annual holiday tradition, playing the audio from ‘Twas the Dark Knight Before Christmas! You can see the video at this link!
