Book Reviews of Hellboy, Vol. 3: The Chained Coffin and Others
Book Review: Nice stories.
Summary: 4 Stars
I think Hellboy is lots of fun. Mike Mignola was already a well regarded artist before he turned his hand to writing as well for this series. His inexperience as a writer shows a bit in the long Hellboy stories, Seed of Destruction and Wake the Devil. In the collected WTD he admits he had to re-plot the end of the book on the hoof when he found he had written himself into a corner.This collection, which contains assorted one-shots, is more polished writing wise than the longer stories. There are some really nice touches here especially the sly folkloric learning which Mignola has picked up over the years, and it's nice to see someone approaching a supernaturally themed comic without the tiresome pretentiousness which characterises a lot of Hellblazer and Sandman stories. For all his demonic origin Hellboy is a very human character.
Another bonus in this collection is that each story is preceded by a little intro by Mignola himself saying how the idea came about which is a cool little bonus; it's always interesting to get a glimpse into the creative processes of people who are producing work you like.
