Beautiful book

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2008

Verified Purchase

A must-have, obviously, for MIGNOLA / HELLBOY completists, this book is also an introduction to a) the creative process at work in artist MIGNOLA's mind, b) his quest for his unique style. Along the years, "less becomes more" as the emphasis is put on conveying a specific atmosphere in lieu of drowning the reader with details. Not that there is no details in the gothic surroundings of HELLBOY's adventures. There are plenty. The point is that MIGNOLA does not compete with artists in the "super hero" field but with himself. The books praises that. And is good at it.

200 pages of pure Love of Comic Art.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2004

Mike Mignola is the master of what not to put in a finished peice of art. While he draws loads of details with the original pencil lines as soon as the ink is applied, he buries them. What makes that technique work so well is that regardless of no evidence of the black flooded pencils the viewer knows the details are there. That masterful ambiguity is what makes the Hellboy art so creepy, menacing. From out of the shadows lurch horrors not meant for the eyes of humans. This is quirky, fun and scary without having to overwork the skilled designs and careful layouts. When I look at all the cartoony comic artists, with their minimalist leanings, and contrast them with the guys who insist on drawing every hair on a head while laying in invented overdone musculature that fairly bulges through a sweatshirt, it is refreshing to see Mignola's seeming ease and inpeccable black spotting that shapes even the things not seen, but definitely suspected, along with shambling ancient horror and explosions of combative violence in the defense of the human race against festering ancient evil.Words? In this book? My brain is full of words unread but ever present. That's Mike's other gift to me.My only question is when will we see a volume collecting his myriad other works?

Great book, just wish it had more sketches!

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2014

I love Mike Mignola's art. He has a brilliant style and this book definitely delivers. The images are mostly his well known covers and some some scenes from his comics. I just wish it had more of his sketches to see his thought process. Overall it's a perfect gift for any Mignola fan, and I do not regret buying it at all.

The Art of Mignola

Reviewed in Italy on June 24, 2016

Recentemente si è conclusa in America la saga (forse l'ultima?!?) di Hellboy in Hell. Occasione questa per rispolverare questo artbook di Mike Mignola che mostra il dietro le quinte di uno dei personaggi più interessanti degli ultimi vent'anni.

Creato da Mignola nel 1993 ha subito riscosso un grosso successo e non è difficile capire il perché.
Le storie dal sapore retrò sono solide e, mese dopo mese, hanno costruito un intero universo di personaggi credibili e solidi. Storie che prendono a piene mani dai miti e dalle credenze popolari si dipanano all'interno di una storia principale che (spoiler) porterà Hellboy all'inferno.

Ma sicuramente quello che ha reso grande questa serie sono stati i magnifici disegni di Mignola.
Dotato di un tratto stilizzato ha sempre fatto delle atmosfere il suo punto di forza.

Personaggi e scene dinamici, neri pieni e uno storytelling sempre adatto alla storia, mai monotono o noioso.

Questo volume propone illustrazioni, matite e chine di Hellboy fin dai primissimi periodi, quando il personaggio era ancora in gestazione, fino alle ultime, splendide illustrazioni ad acquerello.
Tanti disegni di design, layout di tavole e copertine. Interessanti tutti gli studi a matita dei tanti mostri che popolano il fumetto.

Questa edizione softcover conta quasi 200 pagine fitte di materiale.
Manca forse una parte editoriale che accompagni i disegni.

Comunque consigliatissimo per chi ama, come me, Mike Mignola, Hellboy e tutto il suo universo!

I recommend this product for all of Hellboy fans. We've seen many of this illustrations before but in the standard American comics format. Now we can enjoy them in a much bigger size plus tons of the magnificent sketches by Mike Mignola.
