Praise for Hellboy Universe Essentials: Hellboy

"Mike Mignola's Hellboy is one of the most widely praised and visually distinctive comics of the last three decades." -The Guardian

"Mike has had a huge, undeniable impact on the comics medium, as he has influenced generations of young artists, and will continue to do so, even if they don't want to try to copy his art style. What he has achieved as an artist is paired only by Kirby and Toppi, and like those two, there'll never be someone like him." -- Gabriel Bá,

"Mike Mignola is probably the most influential artist in comics since Jack Kirby. His way of creating beautiful compositions and his edgy and elegant style transcend our media and earn him a place among the greatest artists of our era. His work should be admired and celebrated forever." -- Rafael Albuquerque
