Editorial Reviews

Review

Leeds Guide, September 2004: " If you're a Hellboy fan- and let's face it, there a quite a few out there- then you'll love the book." Ottakar's Outland Magazine Issue 31, Autumn 2004 : "Rather like an X'-File' investigating the 'X-files', the lantern chinned, wisecracking Hellboy is one of the most endearing heroes to have emerged in comics for a long time, coming across as fresh, inventive, and, above all, highly entertaining."
