You can’t keep a good Victorian lady sent back in time to inhabit the body of an ancient gladiator down. And so Mike Mignola and Jesse Lonergan’s Miss Truesdale is back in Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man from Dark Horse Comics.
The four-issue series is written by Mignola, with art, colors, and covers by Lonergan, alongside letters from Clem Robins.
“My ending the Hellboy world (sort of) in the B.P.R.D. series, I now find myself fascinated by the very beginnings of it,” said Mignola via press release. “Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man is not a story I would even attempt to tell without the storytelling genius of Jesse Lonergan. For me, coming up with the story was a rollercoaster of strange surprises and Jesse has made it even stranger, more beautiful than I could have imagined. This is the deepest dive yet into the world and how it all works.”
In the new series, Miss Truesdale once again is sent into her past life as Anum Yassa, this time wandering the forest as a dark entity is on her tail — threatening the past, present and future of mankind.
Added Lonergan, “With Miss Truesdale and the Fall of Hyperborea, we explored this past life relationship between a woman in Victorian England and the ancient gladiator she was in a past life. Now, in Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man, those two characters are merged, a Victorian woman in this powerful gladiator body, exploring a new world and battling all manner of monsters and beasts. These travels and battles culminate in a confrontation that reveals deep truths about the Hellboy Universe.”
Miss Truesdale and the Rise of Man #1 hits stores on December 10, 2025. Check out two covers below.
