"It was only a matter of time before The World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator met The World's Greatest Paranormal," said Mignola. "This crossover is more than a natural ... it's a supernatural!"
In this two-issue miniseries, The Bureau for Paranormal Reserach sends Hellboy to Arcadia to validate rumours of a ghost hunting and killing people with a pair of .45 automatics. The rumor, of course, is true, and the result is a battle between Hellboy and Ghost. "Ghost beats the crap out of Hellboy," said Mignola. "But Hellboy satisfies himself with the fact that Ghost is just a stupid, whining idiot."
Scott Benefiel and Jason Rodriguez illustrate the story, which is written by Mignola. Mignola also provides covers for both issues. Hellboy/Ghost Special #1 ships May xx, 1996. Mignola's next Hellboy miniseries, the five-issue Wake the Devil, will debut June 25, 1996.
