by

As a longtime comic book enthusiast and avid collector, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and nostalgia as I read about Dark Horse Comics celebrating Hellboy’s 30th anniversary at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. The first time I encountered Mike Mignola’s iconic demonic superhero was back in the mid-1990s, and his unique blend of folklore, darkness, and adventure has kept me hooked ever since.

As a longtime comic book enthusiast and collector, I can’t help but feel a sense of excitement and nostalgia as I reflect on the fact that this year marks three decades since the debut of one of the most unique and intriguing superheroes in the industry: Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. I still remember the first time I came across those early issues of Dark Horse Comics featuring Hellboy, with his red skin, horns, and signature Right Hand of Doom. The demonic anti-hero immediately captured my imagination and sparked a lifelong fascination.
