Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. Miniseries Announced From Mike Mignola, John Arcudi and Alex Maleev

Mike Mignola will return to the world of Hellboy, to fill in some of the blanks in his beloved, creator-owned character's past, in a new miniseries titled Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., EW reports.

This December, Dark Horse Comics is publishing a series detailing the "lost" years as Hellboy first sets out on adventures with the agents of the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. will continue from the events of a previous trilogy of miniseries—1946, 1947, and 1948—chronicling the early days of the organization, but will jump ahead a few years to 1952.

It features plots and Hellboy dialogue by Mignola, scripts by John Arcudi, and art by Alex Maleev, who Mignola told EW was their ideal artist for this new project.
