And the Halloween treats continue as Dark Horse has provided us with a sneak peek of Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea, heading our way in May of next year. All the familiar names are back for this spooky graphic novel, and we have your details below along with the preview.
From the Press Release:
Dark Horse Comics invites you to celebrate Halloween with a preview of the upcoming original graphic novel Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea, co-written by legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, co-written and illustrated by Eisner Award winning artist Gary Gianni, and colored by award winning colorist Dave Stewart.
“The biblical Jonah was vomited up by a whale, but Hellboy might not be as lucky,” said Gary Gianni. “A superstitious crew and a figure in black will make sure there’s no escaping the silent sea.”
Following the events of the classic story “The Island,” Hellboy sets sail from the wreckage of a deserted island, only to cross paths with a ghost ship. Taken captive by the phantom crew, which plans to sell him to the circus, Hellboy is dragged along by a captain who will stop at nothing in pursuit of a powerful sea creature.
Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea is the third Hellboy original graphic novel, following the classics Hellboy: House of the Living Dead by Mignola, Richard Corbenand Stewart (2011) and Hellboy: The Midnight Circus by Mignola, Duncan Fegredoand Stewart. It will be published in the spring of 2017 (pre-order here).
Gary Gianni has previously collaborated with iconic writers including George R. R. Martin, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, and Michael Chabon and teamed up with Michael Kaluta to work on classic pulp hero The Shadow. Gianni is best known as the creator of the Monstermen series, which appeared as a back-up feature in Hellboy. He also illustrated Prince Valiant, the syndicated newspaper comic strip, for eight years. Gianni will illustrate Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea with colors by Dave Stewart; Mignola will provide a cover with colors by Stewart.
