Benjamin P This documentary offers a captivating and insightful exploration of Mike Mignola's life and the creation of the Hellboy universe. Beautifully crafted, it pays homage to Mignola, his family, and the challenges he faced on his journey from a Marvel inker to the creative force at Dark Horse Comics. The film does a remarkable job of celebrating Mignola’s immense contributions to the world of comics through his iconic character, Hellboy. As a long-time admirer of Hellboy, I found it deeply moving to witness the profound respect and admiration for Mignola's work worldwide. The documentary is a fitting tribute to a true legend in the industry, and the director deserves commendation for bringing this story to life with such care and reverence. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review James K Mike Mignola is a treasure, and Demonakos and Konrad Hanna have delivered the gold.
