This winter, legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, iZombie co-creator Chris Roberson, acclaimed artist Christopher Mitten and colorist Michelle Madsen will unleash Witchfinder: Reign of Darkness. In this all-new, five-part miniseries from Dark Horse Comics, Sir Edward Grey, occult adviser to the queen, takes on London’s most famous serial killer: Jack the Ripper. “It’s been long-established that Sir Edward Grey was involved in some capacity in the investigation into the Ripper killings in 1888, and that shortly afterward he left government service for good,” said Roberson. “But we’ve never known just what Sir Edward discovered during his investigation, or who was behind the Ripper...

Exclusive: Mignola Welcomes New Writers to "Witchfinder: The Mysteries of Unland" By Kiel Phegley The world of Mike Mignola's Hellboy stretches back millennia in story terms, but perhaps the most important figure on the road to the B.P.R.D. is the mysterious Sir Edward Grey. The Victorian occult detective remains a shadowy part of Hellboy's world thanks to repeated appearances by his ghost in "Hellboy In Hell," but the original weird investigator has also found life in his own run of Dark Horse Comics miniseries under the "Witchfinder" banner. This June, the publisher follows up the first two Ed Grey series with "Witchfinder: The Mysteries of Unland," a miniseries drawn by frequent B.P.R.D. artist Tyler Crook and co-written by Mignola...

The action-packed first issue of Sledgehammer 44 is already available and making its rounds among excited comics readers and Mignolaverse fans everywhere. If you haven't picked up the thrilling ride that is Sledgehammer 44 #1 stop on by our digital store or your local comic shop. This new hero is for real. Dark Horse Comics: Where does Sledgehammer first appear? John Arcudi: This is the first appearance of the armored character as “Sledgehammer.” In fact, the character gets that name very early in the first issue. As the armor is a tool of the military, it’s a name that obviously carries a lot more of an “oomph!” cachet than the classical “Iron Prometheus.” DHC: What’s his...

Once again, following so closely the passing of comics legend Jerry Robinson, the comics industry losses another of its treasures, John Severin will be remembered for the outstanding body of work he created over more than six decades. His Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat comics are classics and his iconic covers for those titles are considered some of the best ever. His comics work included virtually every genre, and he was one of the five original artists contributing to Harvey Kurtzman's Mad magazine. John worked for a variety of publishers over the years, including Dark Horse, where his unique touch and distinctive style will be sorely missed. -Mike Richardson...

Happy Presidents' Day, comic fans! Did you know Andrew Jackson was the first president born in a log cabin and Jimmy Carter was the first president born in a hospital? It's true! Did you know that Warren G. Harding wore size 14 shoes? That's also true! While in office, Grover Cleveland personally answered the White House phone while, later on, Calvin Coolidge refused to use the telephone as president. Facts! True facts! And Abe Lincoln? Not only was he the tallest U.S. President in history, he was also the first to wear a beard! Abe Lincoln by Mike Mignola from The Amazing Screw-On Head Well, I could rattle off presidential trivia all day, but let's get down to business. Welcome to the Dark Horse blog, I'm publicity coordinator Jim...

John Arcudi is a seriously talented dude. Not only is he one of he most prolific writers working in the industry today, he's also one of the best. Seriously, the man knows his stuff. Here's John now with a quick word on his newest collaboration with Mike Mignola, Witchfinder: Lost and Gone Forever. My brain, it doesn’t work the way Mike Mignola’s does. Be nice if it did, but it doesn’t. He wakes up in the morning and gets a glimmer of an idea and by the time he’s out of the shower, he’s got a whole miniseries in his head. Not me. I get a hint of an idea and then it starts running around in my brain desperately looking for other ideas (or even just other hints) to keep it company. Eventually, I get a small...

The world is an unpredictable place with few constants. Much like gravity, Zack Morris' love for Kelly Kapowski, the deliciousness of reuben sandwiches and the perfection of A.C. Slater's physique, you can always count on "Dark Horse in the Headlines" to keep you sane by continually delivering the best DH-related links from around the interwebs. Axe Cop When are the Nicolle Brothers not making waves online? On top of the Axe Cop motion comics and the Axe Cop fan movie making the rounds, the axe-wielding officer received a rave recommendation from USA Today's Pop Candy blog ("Once you see it, you realize Axe Cop is pretty much the greatest comic ever created.") and had a new cover premiered (alongside King Conan) on io9.
