    We have a German studies professor specialised in comics in our university and Hellboy in Hell was the main focus in his recent course. What fascinates him in Mignolas work is that sense for continuity and coherence. On another note there seems to be among the Baltimore stories you flipped through an episode with priest fighting werewolves. If that too takes pace in the Baltic region, I wonder if it's inspired by a real incidence during the Great War. Namely, there was a temporary truce between the Germans and the Russian / local troops during one winter in order to hunt down wolves. The local packs apperently had acquired a taste for human flesh, after devouring several bodies left unburied during the fighting.

      I've reread these books more than the Hellboy stuff at this point. They're fun stuff!

    I loved the Baltimore comic and probably aught to invest in the omnibus' - I borrowed the tpd's from the local library.
    Have you read the new Lady Baltimore arc? I might buy the tpd when it comes out 🤷‍♂️

      I haven't read them, but I've been REALLY tempted too. The art looks great and I love that they're just going to keep on rolling with the timeline. I guess I probably will just be keeping my eyes peeled for the inevitable omnibuses that brings about. Maybe Joe Golem will get one too?

      I think so- Baltimore for the most part is very self- contained and does its own thing in comparison to the rest of Mignola's stories. The post WW1 timeline especially deviates quite wildly into its own. I say go for it! Not often you see a grimdark Eastern European horror comic where science and technology are used almost as equally as traditional remedies for the supernatural!
