Hellboy - Les germes de la destruction

In 1994, Dark Horse France launched this two-issue series, collecting the earliest Hellboy stories by writer/artist Mike Mignola, with additional scripting by John Byrne and Franck Reichert. These foundational tales introduce the core premise of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and its demonic protagonist, establishing the gothic, folklore-infused tone that would define the Hellboy universe. As the seed of Mignola's sprawling mythos, this series marks the essential starting point for one of modern comics' most distinctive horror-adventure sagas.
