In this second collection of Mike Mignola's acclaimed Hellboy stories, the world's greatest paranormal detective faces a deadly array of mysteries... In 'The Corpse', Hellboy must rescue a baby from the 'little people' of Ireland; in 'The Iron Shoes' a vicious goblin must be stopped; 'A Christmas Underground' sees our hero laying a troubled ghost to rest. The title story sees Hellboy investigating his own past once more, and uncovering even more disturbing details, while 'The Wolves of Saint August' is a contemporary look at the werewolf myth. Finally, in 'Almost Colossus', we discover the origin of a favourite Hellboy character - Roger the Homunculus! With all this and a Hellboy gallery, featuring pin-ups by Kevin Nowlan, Matt Smith, Duncan Fegredo, Dave Johnson, Thierry Robin & B. C. Boyer, this book is a must!
