Hellboy: Wake the Devil #2

Jul 1996 · Dark Horse · 2.95 USD; 4.15 CAD
“Wake the Devil [Chapter Two]”

In "Wake the Devil [Chapter Two]," Hellboy’s fight with the Unmensch drags him deep beneath Castle Giurescu, where he encounters the skeletal remains of the vampire’s tormented father—his story a grim echo of the horror above. Meanwhile, Ilsa Haupstein is haunted by the spectral presence of Rasputin, and a secretive group chants from ancient texts that speak of the Ogdru-Jahad’s return. Written and illustrated by Mike Mignola, with inks, colors by James Sinclair and David Stewart, and letters by Pat Brosseau and Mike Mignola, the cover by Mike Mignola captures the tale’s eerie, gothic weight.
