Previously, Mignola had always worked on characters and properties owned by others. He deviated from that practice in 1994, when Mignola's first Hellboy story, The Seed of Destruction, was published by Dark Horse Comics. Hellboy draws heavily on Mignola's own interests - folklore, B-movies, ghost stories, monsters and pulp stories, and the series about a paranormal investigator from Hell - the eponymous Hellboy - soon proved to be a popular and critical success. It has since been the endeavour Mignola has been most closely connected with, and he has kept up a steady stream of ...

Mignola is particularly noted for his highly distinctive style, which was once called "German expressionism meets Jack Kirby." It is a fairly accurate description. While Mignola has heavily influenced a new generation of comics artists since becoming popular, he was something of an odd man out in the superhero comics industry in the beginning of his career. Compared to his contemporary comics artists' often highly polished style, Mignola's imagery stood in stark comparison - where others would draw muscular men and slim, well-endowed ...

Ogdru Jahad - The Ogdru Jahad's mortal agents. After being imprisoned in the void, the Ogdru Jahad turned their considerable forces toward finding a way to escape their confinement and exact their revenge on the world. Since they are trapped in deep space, their contact with humanity is sparse at best. However, since the Ogdru Jahad are supremely powerful psychic entities, they have been able to establish contact with mortals on Earth in order to coerce them into doing their bidding. Thus far, it appears as ...

The cycle of Conan the Barbarian by Robert E. Howard, set in the fictitious "Hyborian era", features Hyperborea as a far northern land of fair-haired barbarians, to the north and east of Conan's native Cimmeria. Inspired by Howard, H.P. Lovecraft used the name in his mythology for his version of Atlantis. Hellboy comics have made use of Lovecraft's image and Hyperborea's links with Nazi mysticism. Most notably, fantasy author Clark Ashton Smith (a correspondent of both Lovecraft and Howard, and like them, a frequent cont ...

In Norse mythology, Ragnarok ("fate of the gods"1) is the battle at the end of the world. It would supposedly be waged between the gods (the Æsir, led by Odin) and the evils (the fire giants, the Jotuns and various monsters, led by Loki). Not only will some of the gods, giants, and monsters perish in this apocalyptic conflagration, but almost everything in the universe will be torn asunder. In the Viking warrior societies, dying in battles is a fate to admire and this is carried over into the worship of a pantheon i ...

In Greek mythology, according to tradition, the Hyperboreans were a mythical people who lived to the far north of Greece, near the Ural Mountains. Their land, called Hyperborea, or Hyperboria ("beyond the Boreas (north wind)"), was perfect, with the sun shining twenty-four hours a day. The Greeks thought that Boreas, the god of the north wind, lived in Thrace, and therefore Hyperborei was an unspecified nation in the northern parts of Europe and Asia. Alone among the Olympians, Apollo was venerated among the Hyperboreans ...
