“The Return of Effie Kolb”

In "The Return of Effie Kolb," Hellboy is drawn into a mystery when an old ally brings him to Sara May Blackburn, a young woman claiming to be a witch with troubling visions. As they venture into the woods, strange forces stir—Sara May begins seeing things she can't explain, and Hellboy confronts the reanimated corpse of Effie Kolb, a figure from the past with a deadly purpose. The story unfolds with tension and unease, as secrets surface and the line between ally and threat blurs. Written by Mike Mignola and illustrated with moody precision by Zach Howard, with colors by Dave Stewart and letters by Clem Robins, the cover by Mignola himself captures the eerie atmosphere of this haunting chapter.
