Autorenporträt

Reading Dracula at age twelve introduced MIKE MIGNOLA to folklore and Victorian supernatural literature, from which he has never recovered. He began working as a comic book artist in 1982, working for both Marvel and DC Comics before creating Hellboy, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1994. What began as a single comic book series would eventually expand to a “Hellboy Universe” of related graphic novels, prose novels, short story anthologies, and both animated and live action films. He also wrote and drew The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects. He has cowritten novels with Christopher Golden (Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire) and Thomas Sniegoski (Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal), worked with Francis Ford Coppola on Bram Stoker’s Dracula, was a production designer on Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and acted as visual consultant to Guillermo del Toro on Blade II, Hellboy, and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. A new Hellboy film directed by Neil Marshall was released in 2019. Mike’s comics and graphic novels have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. He lives in Southern California with his wife and a very demanding cat. JOHN ARCUDI has been telling lies since he was a boy. Eventually it became clear that this was the only thing he was any good at. After a stint writing for Marvel, he ended up at Dark Horse, where he wrote, among other things, The Mask. John is best known as cocreator of Major Bummer and A God Somewhere, both for DC Comics, and collaborating with Mike Mignola.

TONCI ZONJIC is known for his interior and cover work on titles such as Lobster Johnson, Skulldigger + Skeleton Boy (both at Dark Horse), Who Is Jake Ellis? (Image), Heralds (Marvel), and others, as well as working as a costume concept artist on Disney and Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Solo: A Star Wars Story.

STEPHEN GREEN has worked on Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. and Lobster Johnson at Dark Horse Comics, as well as Sea of Stars with Jason Aaron, Dennis Hallum, and Rico Renzi at Image Comics. BEN STENBECK discovered his joy of comics after he found a copy of 2000 AD when he was six years old. He has worked as an illustrator and designer on everything from films to comics and games, with a lot of commercial illustration work in between. He has worked on several titles for Dark Horse Comics, including Living with the Dead, Baltimore, and B.P.R.D.: The Ectoplasmic Man. He lives in Auckland, New Zealand, with his wife and son and three horses. JASON ARMSTRONG has worked in comics since 1994 when he debuted with Shadow Cabinet at Milestone Comics. From there he was featured in DC Showcase, and went on to work on titles including The Ray and Legion of Superheroes with DC Comics. He has also worked for Marvel on The New Warriors and The Sensational Spider-Man, and created, wrote, and drew Doc Thunder at Dark Horse. MATTHEW DOW SMITH has worked with many creators and publishers across his career, on projects including the Day of Judgment crossover with Geoff Johns at DC Comics, The Keep with F. Paul Wilson at IDW, Nightcrawler at Marvel Comics, and Sandman Mystery Theatre at Vertigo. Most recently he co-created Bad Luck Chuck with Lela Gwenn at Dark Horse. KEVIN NOWLAN, artist, colorist, letterer, and cover artist, has been working in the comics industry since the 1980s with many publishers, including Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse, working on stories in Abe Sapien, Hellboy, and Lobster Johnson. He is also known for creating several character designs for Batman: The Animated Series, and for designing the Hellboy logo. DAVE STEWART was born on the high desert to the chatter of a rattlesnake. Despite a rare case of Sasquatch leg and the desire to run with any northbound moose migration, he found the coloring arts were a suitable profession, allowing him to build a moonshine still in the hills of Southwest Portland. His coloring garnered him industry awards, unlike his feverish gathering of dry leaves for winter bedding. And he colors on.
