Hellboy: The Complete Short Stories Volume 1

Totalmente recomendable si vas empezando a leer Hellboy

As a longtime Hellboy fan, the attraction here was to get all the short stories that I'd not been able to get in the one-off comic book form, or that were included in other compilations, and this first volume does not disappoint, as while I recognized a number of the stories, quite a few were also completely new to me.The second attraction of this collection is that it allows you to re-read the stories in the chronological order of Hellboy's life - not the backwards and forwards, flashback order that the stories were actually published in. That gives them a greater coherence, even when drawn by different artists. It may be sacrilege to say it, but while I'll always have a soft spot for Mignola's original version of Hellboy (which I didn't really care for when the series first emerged), I think I like Richard Corben's version almost as much.There is the obligatory sketchbook section at the end of the volume, but that's the only 'added extra' you get. It's still a worthwhile purchase though. One thing that strikes me as a bit odd is that even though the book is the same size as the regular trade paperback collections, it somehow feels smaller - perhaps the fact it's twice as many pages plays a perception trick on you, but it's the exact same size. Regardless, an excellent warm up for the full omnibus version of all the major Hellboy stories due later in 20201.

An Amazing collection that show how versatile and Iconic Hellboy is.
