Strange Places for Hellboy...and the reader
Review date: 2008-08-23 Rating: 10 out of 10
Mignola is clearly more confident and able to bring Hellboy to places that he himself wants to bring this marvellous character. Strange Places follows Hellboy on a journey of finding himself and who he wants to be and though it doesn't actually end with Hellboy achieving this, it nevertheless tells us tales of woe that the character happed upon in his journies. The wonderful thing about the world of Hellboy is the array of characters and folklore that Mignola draws upon, and here within the pages of Strange Places is no exception. Hellboy is part of world that the reader knows little of, and through the eyes of Mignola and Hellboy, the reader becomes all the more aware of what both Mignola wants us to see and what Hellboy must endure being Anung Un Rama

Fills a gap...
Review date: 2008-04-24 Rating: 6 out of 10
Mike Mignola's latest Hellboy effort picks up with what happened after Hellboy left the B.P.R.D and his journey to Africa. Features plenty of Lovecraftian underwater monstrosities and some stroppy fairy types!
Certainly not the best in the Hellboy series but a welcome return for my favourite red guy. Plus it reveals a few more secrets about his origins and purpose in the "Third Wish." It also contains "the island" and some previously unpublished sketches and artwork. A must for Hellboy fans and collectors.
Simply the best

Mike Mignola is quite simply the best comic book artist out there. When you sit there and marvel at the sheer simplicity of his illustrations you can truly appreciate what a master of the craft he is. After all the key to comic book art is to be able to convey what is happening at a glance, this allows each cell to seemlessley flow into the next. But when you do start to muse over each picture you notice just how clever his style is. The simple rule is that what's in shadow is black and what isn't in shadow isn't black!
As for this book it is yet another sneeky peek into Hellboy's mysterious origins and even more interestingly the origins of the Ogdru Jahad. But of course like all of the other books Mignola manages to ask more questions than he answers! But hey isn't that why we love Hellboy!
