Hellboy is heading to the skies in a new four-issue series titled Young Hellboy: Thrilling Sky Adventures. Written by Mike Mignola and Thomas E. Sniegoski, with art by Craig Rousseau, the four-issue series will feature Young Hellboy and “his hero,” Scarlett Santiago.
“Since wrapping up the Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land, I’d been thinking about Scarlett Santiago, the Sky Devil, and how much we still didn’t know about her past adventures (before being possessed by the spirit of a giant ape god),” said Sniegoski via press release. “I was hoping that there would be a way to tell some of Sky Devil’s earlier exploits, and with Thrilling Sky Adventures, we’re getting to do just that. The whole team has excitedly returned, Mike Mignola and I coming up with the story, Craig Rousseau on art, Chris O’Halloran on colors and Clem Robins doing the lettering. The series is coming out great, and I can’t wait for folks to be immersed in its pulpy goodness!”
In the book — actually a book within a book — Young Hellboy reads the comic book adventures of Santiago, as she teams up with “a mysterious feline figure” to keep herself safe from the baddies who are after her.
“Having the opportunity to work on more Young Hellboy is an absolute treat,” added Rousseau. “It’s fun working with some of my all time favorite creative partners to expand on the story of Scarlett Santiago, Sky Devil and introduce The Ghost Leopard. Every script gets bigger and crazier and Tom and Mike know how to write some wild pulpy adventure to expand her backstory (and getting me to draw gangsters, biplanes, wild animals, crazy monsters and so much more). Speaking of which, back to the drawing board!”
Young Hellboy: Thrilling Sky Adventures #1 hits stores on May 20, 2026. Check out covers from Craig Rousseau and David Hitchcock, below.
