Victor Koestler

Victor Koestler stepped into the shadows of Dark Horse's Hellboy universe in 2016, the creation of Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson, and Patric Reynolds — a formidable creative team working at the height of the Mignolaverse's Modern Age expansion. His handful of appearances place him squarely in the richly atmospheric 1952–1954 corner of B.P.R.D. history, where he keeps some genuinely remarkable company: Hellboy himself, the enigmatic Trevor Bruttenholm, and the chilling Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, among others. A rare figure with a small but carefully placed footprint across the Hellboy Universe: The Secret Histories line, Koestler is exactly the kind of deep-catalog discovery that rewards fans who love to explore the darker corridors of one of comics' most beloved mythologies.
