Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea
Description
Hellboy sets sail from the wreckage of a deserted island only to cross paths with a ghost ship. Taken captive by the phantom crew that plans to sell him to the circus, Hellboy is dragged along by a captain who will stop at nothing in pursuit of a powerful sea creature. Following the events of Hellboy: The Island, Gary Gianni draws Hellboy in an original graphic novel.
"The master of modern horror comics."-IGN
"... Mignola's simple but elegant panel design should be studied by everyone who is or who wants to be a cartoonist. The script is a delight, too, as Hellboy's down-to-earth anger and everyman astonishment remains funny and refreshing." -Publishers Weekly
Praise for Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea
“A gorgeous, atmospheric dose of maritime goth fun.” - PASTE MAGAZINE
“Gianni’s artwork evokes horror masters like Bernie Wrightson and Steve Bissette’s comics, creating these deep and textured images where the story’s magic and its horror are contained in every drawing and every line.”--NEWSARAMA
“Magical.”--OUTER PLACES
“Honestly, you should probably just read all Hellboy. Hellboy is pretty much never anything short of brilliant. But, if for some reason you haven't taken the leap yet and want an easy entry into what has become one of the most fascinating fleshed-out universes in comics, you could certainly do worse than this month's original graphic novel, Hellboy: Into the Silent Sea….The line work is provided by Gary Gianni, who has illustrated the Prince Valiant newspaper strip, The Shadow comic books, George R.R. Martin's A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms novel and much more. His art is astonishing in its detail, looking like it may be a centuries-old wood carving and not a comic book…. This book is a perfect place to jump into the macabre, beautiful world of Hellboy, whether it's your first time or you're returning to it after a long time lost at sea.”--BLASTR
