Other readers know him as the masked, cloaked figure in Hellboy in Hell, where he was dragged to the underworld and cursed with eternal life and occult powers, turning from hunter to hunted. Most Hellboy fans are familiar with Sir Edward Grey in one of two ways: Mignola's Witchfinder series, created with longtime collaborator Ben Stenbeck ( Baltimore, Hellboy), which follows Grey during his time as a paranormal investigator in Victorian era England. So it's up to Grey to fight a powerful demon that threatens to undo everything that his predecessors saved. Hellboy is gone, and the B.P.R.D.is underground. This new story picks up right after the end of Hellboy in Hell and could easily be called "Acheron in Hell," as the sorcerer never leaves the confines of Hades for most of the story. It is also the first comic Mignola has written and drawn himself in five years, since his definitive Hellboy in Hell. Sir Edward Grey: Acheron (Dark Horse) the first in a series of one-shots, is a prime example of this.
Not a fan of reboots, Mignola prefers to push the boundaries of existing characters in new directions. Mike Mignola famously created the character of Hellboy, but in doing so he also created a community of creators he has collaborated with for almost three decades working in the "Mignolaverse." Since 2016, the prolific writer and artist has shared illustrating duties with various artists writing and developing new storylines.
