DARK
HORSE ANNOUNCES THE OFFICIAL HELLBOY 20TH ANNIVERSARY
CELEBRATION
TO TAKE
PLACE ON MARCH 22!
MILWAUKIE, OR, DECEMBER
11–March 2014 marks the twentieth
anniversary of Mike Mignola’s career-defining release of Hellboy: Seed of
Destruction #1. After the character’s somewhat humble beginnings as an
eight-page feature in Dark Horse’s San Diego Comic Con Comics special,
Seed of Destruction would begin the long life of the beloved “beast of
the apocalypse.”
To celebrate, Dark Horse is
proclaiming March 22, 2014 as “Hellboy Day,” with events happening in comic
shops around the country! Dark Horse is inviting our retail partners to
celebrate with us, by offering up exclusive promotional materials, as well as
ordering discounts on all Hellboy and BPRD backlist titles.
Additionally, Dark Horse
will produce an all-new sampler comic featuring
two classic Mignola tales: “The Ghoul” and “Another Day at The Office,” as well
as two new stories by Mignola, Fabio Moon, and R.
Sikoryak!
Dark
Horse is also pleased to announce that Meltdown
Comics and Collectibles
in West Hollywood, CA will be hosting Mike Mignola on March 22! Look for more
details to come on the event.
Fans:
make sure to tell your retailer you want your local store to participate in this
awesome celebration today! Retailers: look for the March dated issue of
PREVIEWS for details on participation levels, as well as promotional
support being offered by Dark Horse for the event!
Additionally,
look for the 20 Years of Hellboy hardcover collection, on sale in comic
shops everywhere on March 19! This
deluxe oversized hardcover presents Mignola's favorite covers and illustrations
in gallery style, from his first drawing of the character through twenty years
of publishing.
