Celebrate National Pancake Day With Hellboy

Today is National Pancake Day in the United States, and there are two ways comic fans can celebrate. The first, obviously, is to eat some pancakes! The second? Reread Mike Mignola's two-page Hellboy short story, "Pancakes."

"Pancakes" was originally published in black and white in Dark Horse Presents Annual 1999. The story tells of Hellboy's first ever bite of a pancake, and the Lords of Pandemonium lamenting that he was then truly lost forever.

After all, who can return to rule the Kingdoms of Hell if it means giving up pancakes, amiright?

Check out the colored version of "Pancakes" in the gallery below. If you'd like to own it yourself, its been collected into Hellboy Vol. 4: The Right Hand of Doom, from Dark Horse Comics.
