The true hero of 2020!!!
I am a sucker for anything with superior packaging and presentation and with that said Hellboy Library Edition Volume One from Dark Horse can teach a thing or two to Marvel and DC. I truly wish more titles were presented in this quality hardcover format painstakingly made with attention to detail and true love for the subject matter. Yes, I know that there are some out there but most will run you over a hundred bucks. For thirty dollars not only did a purchase a quality hardcover tome I can display with pride, but Mike Mignola’s art and the story hooked me right in and provided me with a couple of afternoons happily exploring the Hellboy Universe. The Gothic and Victorian themes paired with Mignola’s art made this truly an exceptional work of art and the start of my collection.

The book is amazing but I bought it brand new and it has finger prints on it and tears. Fifty bucks is a lot for a new book to have these damages. The damages on the new book is my only disappointment.
Great introduction to Hellboy and beautifully presented
I had never read the Hellboy comics, only knew the character from having recently seen the first two movies with my son, who thought I might like them. I did like the movies, so thought I would try out the comics and this compendium seemed to be a good way to do it. I can see why people loved it: the graphics are stunning and the storylines/characters are interesting, offbeat. Love the humor. I wound up buying "Hellboy in Hell" to go with it.
It begins
Hellboy fully deserves its reputation as an exceptionally rich, literary set of graphic novels. In my view, Hellboy ranks just below Neil Gaiman's
Fantastic value
The list price is 50 bucks, got it with prime for 24. This is totally worth it. I was amazed at the quality of the binding, the paper grade and gloss. Gonna go ahead and purchase the rest of this novel edition because it may be the best thing I've ever purchased for the money on Amazon, seriously.
Beautiful edition of some of my favorite comics
Beautiful edition of some of my favorite comics. This is honestly the best value I've ever seen for a volume of this caliber. You may not be able to tell it from the pictures, but this thing is HUGE. Everything is high quality and of course, the art and writing are top notch. A must have for Hellboy fans.
Heavy. Arrives completely sealed
Arrived completely sealed and protected in in thick plastic. In case you want to save it unopened. Which my teenage son plans to do. Have no idea what’s inside, but apparently it’s priceless.
Holy crap this thing is huge
Holy crap this thing is huge! The art is beautiful and it's just great to read. Can't wait for Vol 2 to get here.
Beautifully bound edition
This book is beautifully made. Very high quality. Definitely worth it.
Can't recommend this enough
A truly gorgeous edition of the first volume of Hellboy tales. This sits perfectly next to my Art of Mignola hardcover. Can't recommend this enough!
