You can’t spell “Devil’s funeral” without “fun,” though I guess we don’t know how much fun Hellboy will be having in Hellboy in Hell: Parade of Horrors, a new two-issue series from Dark Horse.
Written by Mike Mignola with art by Márk László, Parade of Horrors will quickly follow on the heels of the previously announced Hellboy in Hell: Nothing But Blood with artist Cyrille Pomès, which hits in October. Then, two short months later, Hellboy goes to the Devil’s funeral, finally answering the question: if the Devil dies in Hell, does he come back to life?
“I hadn’t planned to return to Hellboy’s HELL — I certainly didn’t think I’d ever let anyone else in there. But I love Márk’s work, and when we met he said he wanted to do a story set there. Well, how could I say no?” said Mignola via press relase. “Fortunately, there were a couple big holes between the chapters I’d drawn and I thought Márk would have fun with those two dead soldiers we meet in “The Three Gold Whips” — and he did! I only gave him a rough outline for a story, and he took it from there. And as things took shape, we found a place to introduce a bit more of the history of the place. Every time I think we are done with this thing it seems we find there are just a few more bits and pieces to explore, which I guess is a good thing.”
Added László, “Ever since reading Hellboy in Hell, Mike’s version of the place (Hell) always felt like such a fun, rich visual playground to me: all those dark landscapes, the endless, bleak villages, the set of characters lurking inside. When I spoke with Mike about what could I do as a next Hellboy project, I knew I wanted to draw a story that is set in there. To my delight, he found a spot between two of the chapters of his original run where I could expand the story a little, and the whole thing was built up from there. It’s all made up of stuff I’m very happy to draw: Hellboy stumbling through parading demons, dancing skeletons, bloody fights, and I even got to draw a few glimpses from the history behind this version of Hell.”
The book also features colors by Dave Stewart, letters by Clem Robins, covers by László, and a variant cover by Mignola on issue 1, and Bridgit Connell on issue 2. Check out the first issue covers and synopsis below. Hellboy in Hell: Parade of Horrors #1 hits stores on December 16, 2026.
