Product Description |
|
As a new Hellboy series hits the stands, fans of the world's greatest paranormal detective can find older favorites collected for the first time in the seventh volume of the Hellboy Saga. Hellboy: The Troll Witch and Others collects short stories from The Dark Horse Books of the Dead, Witchcraft, Hauntings, and Monsters, the 2004 Hellboy: Wizard 1/2, as well as the critically acclaimed 2006 miniseries, Hellboy: Makoma by Mignola and comics legend Richard Corben, and a previously unpublished Hellboy story by P. Craig Russell and Mike Mignola, along with sketches and story notes. |

Good but not Great. Rate: ***1/2 |
Mignola's Hellboy is one of the most
remarkable creations in recent memory.
Said that, The Troll Witch and Others
is not Hellboy at best and perhaps the
weakest graphic novel so far.
Don't get me wrong, there is
exceptionally fine material here (the
story title is one of the most beauti-
ful tales in the entire Hellboy canon
and the super fine Dr. Carp's Expe-
riment have all the elements that makes
Hellboy a modern classic) but there is
some disapointing material here too.
The Vampire of Prague (drawn by
P. Craig, Russel) is pointless and
forgettable, The Ghoul is a failed
experiment, but Makoma, drawn
by the legendary Richard Corben,
is an amusing and interesting reinter-
pretation of an african folktale.
The Troll Witch and Others is a good
graphic novel but perhaps not the best
place to start.

A great collection of Hellboy shorts |
This is a great introduction to the Hellboy/BPRD universe. As it does collect several older shorts, fans may have seen some (most?) of these before. I'd seen about half myself.
Still, they capture the full range of Hellboy - from the very short and very simple plots to the complex weavings of Hellboy and legend, this book contains all the basic tonal elements of the short Hellboy works.
If you're curious about whether or not you'd like Hellboy, this is a great place to find out. |

Great stuff |
|
it's great that now we can have all the hell boy stories compiled in volumes cause I read them all in single comics so now it's easier |
| |
|
great collection! |
|
i've been collecting hellboy since i don't know when! and this collection strengthens my conviction in mike mignola and company! keep churning those wonderful stories and artwork! |

Solid, but ultimately disappointing. |
|
These are some good additions to the Hellboy story line, but the stories all take place before events in Volume 6. That means that we still don't know what happened to Hellboy after he left the BPRD! |
