This August brings long-awaited relief to thousands of comics fans who have suffered withdrawl symptoms from Mike Mignola's fantastic five-year old series, Hellboy, as Dark Horse Comics releases an all-new two-issue miniseries starring everyone's favorite paranormal investigator and his amphibious sidekick Abe Sapien.

Hellboy: Box Full of Evil is the white-knuckled tale of a box that's full of evil. More specifically, it's a metal box that's long been hidden from the eyes of the world, by the same saint who, a thousand years before, captured the devil and placed him against his will in the blessed box. Now, that box has been stolen from its hiding place by an old enemy of Hellboy, and it's up to the de-horned hero of our tale to find both the perpetrator of the crime, and the evil beast who lived so many years within the confines of St. Dunstan's box. And adding to the horror is a monkey with a gun!

"When I began hinting that Hellboy was the Beast of the Apocalypse, I realized I had opened a big can of worms . . . Box Full of Evil is my attempt to put the lid back on the can," said Mignola.Hellboy: Box Full of Evil is a perfect summer read, and its first issue hits comics shops everywhere August 4. Pick up each exciting full-color issue for the retail price of $2.95.
