Les deux acolytes sont des chasseurs de monstres: vampires, loups garous et autres goules ! Ils n’ont qu’à bien se tenir. La seule chose dont nos deux héros soient certains, c’est que peu de choses sont en réalité ce qu’elles semblent être…

About the author
Mike Mignola
1,865 books2,535 followersMike Mignola was born September 16, 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age (he doesn't remember why) and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered.
In 1982, hoping to find a way to draw monsters for a living, he moved to New York City and began working for Marvel Comics, first as a (very terrible) inker and then as an artist on comics like Rocket Raccoon, Alpha Flight and The Hulk. By the late 80s he had begun to develop his signature style (thin lines, clunky shapes and lots of black) and moved onto higher profile commercial projects like Cosmic Odyssey (1988) and Gotham by Gaslight (1989) for DC Comics, and the not-so-commercial Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser (1990) for Marvel. In 1992, he drew the comic book adaptation of the film Bram Stoker's Dracula for Topps Comics.
In 1993, Mike moved to Dark Horse comics and created Hellboy, a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. While the first story line (Seed of Destruction, 1994) was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. There are, at this moment, 13 Hellboy graphic novel collections (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien and Witchfinder), three anthologies of prose stories, several novels, two animated films and two live-action films staring Ron Perlman. Hellboy has earned numerous comic industry awards and is published in a great many countries.
Mike also created the award-winning comic book The Amazing Screw-on Head and has co-written two novels (Baltimore, or, the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire and Joe Golem and the Drowning City) with best-selling author Christopher Golden.
Mike worked (very briefly) with Francis Ford Coppola on his film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer on the Disney film Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001) and was visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004) and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). He lives somewhere in Southern California with his wife, daughter, a lot of books and a cat.

Horror done with intelligence and depth; short stories that show us the human side of monster hunters. Really unusual twists on classic monsters (a 'smart' werewolf who uses a knife instead of his claws to 'hide' his crimes) that points out how true Nietzsche was about fighting monsters - a really original take on 'monsters' and why fighting them comes at such a high cost to the 'fighter' who takes them on.

A handful of fun Vampire-hunting stories. Nothing wrong with this at all.
March 20, 2020
Some horror vignettes featuring our intrepid vampire hunters. There are some interesting ideas here that are not always well serviced by the art. There were times especially during action sequences where I couldn't tell what was going on. The epilogue seemed like a particular waste of ink. If this had better art, it'd be a 5 star book.

A quick handful of stories starring a vampire hunter and his special assistants. You don't get to know any of the central characters, but that doesn't seem to matter in these quick-hitters. The vampires are wicked, the hunters resourceful, the action a-plenty. The art is perhaps too indie for my tastes, but I'd also argue that it's oddly compelling. Didn't ruin the reading since the writing was excellent enough.
I didn't realize at all that this was related to Mr. Higgins Comes Home. Again, didn't ruin the reading - it's fine as a standalone.

What the hell? So I see this comic at the store and thought "Oh interesting! Maybe it'll be like Lord Baltimore" and I perused the back cover (it's a LIE!!!) which said "From the horror-genius of Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell comes this new installment of endearingly terrifying tales..."
There's more. But none of it is true. Take the former quote. Mike Mignola has jack and shit to do with this abortion other than doing the cover art (didn't even waste time with the back). Then, he mailed it in and went off to smoke weed and wait for his percentage from sales. This then leaves the ENTIRE book (not at all what is implied on the back cover) in the inept hands of this self-acclaimed "horror-genius". This cretin with three first names is a hack. A talentless hack. His characters J.T. Meinhardt and Mr. Knox are flat, hollow, set-pieces for his infantile stories. Oh and there's some strange Scots (I think) woman who has a crossbow.
Each and every single story is so simplistic and utterly lacking in any of Mignola's standard style, prose, knowledge, talent, story-telling abilities, etc.... um mostly vampire stories of very poor quality. The last story with the werewolf thing might have had some semblence of mediocrity but the rest are just putrid. Speaking of rancid -this artwork. It's awful. Seriously? The first thing I thought of is "Holy Shit! That's the artist who draws 'Dilbert'". It's not, but it may as well be. Did Mignola even meet this lack-wit? This three-first-named imbecile is such a worthless hack that he couldn't even spend the time to come up with creative names for his villains. I mean "Earl Cannon Tagnarog" and "Devilt Pietros"? The fuck? Is the first one some Scots-Irish-Orc combo? What the hell is the second one? half Satan-worshipping Celt and Italian? Dude could you have mailed it in any further? Make some names that make sense for the country or nationality. I know you had time dude, you certainly didn't spend it on the art.
An awful piece of crap comic. A great one to send to your enemies. Or send it to your friends and turn them into enemies. Doesn't matter. Don't fatten Mignola's pockets further with this turd. As far as the three first named imbecile, let us pray his comic career is swift and short.

A very fun, lighthearted, vampire-killing adventure collection.
I quite enjoyed the inclusion of Ms. Sloane she rounded out the cast.
My favorite story was definitely the "lost duke" one. The visual storytelling here is wonderful.

This one's probably more of a three-and-a-half. It can't quite recapture the Euro-gothic vibe of the first book, but that vampire duel story is A++.

Very good

Mira, quan ja creia que l'univers Hellboy de Mignola estava esgotadíssim, he topat amb aquesta particular versió d'El baile de los vampiros de Polanski. Relats curtets, il·lustració llampant i molt dinàmica i pura diversió. Vull més d'això.

This one was disappointing.
The childish artwork from the first volume is continued. These books would have been far better served by an artist who if not Mike Mignola hewed closer to his style.
However the disappointment is with story. The first volume had a good Hammer-esque vibe to it. This one felt underdeveloped, meandered, ans was incomplete.

Eh.... I hated the art. Did not fit. Helena Crash was cool though.
Characters are a little boring so far. Will probably skip this.

Entertaining short stories about monster hunting and how some monsters are more like us humans than we like to admit!

Quirky art but I'm not sure if it jives well with the horror genre.

Aventuras de cazadores de vampiros un tanto peculiares, bien construídas y que dejan buen sabor de boca.
February 24, 2020
Really enjoyed this and look forward to the next one. I think the short story format works MUCH better for this artist and the characters. (I really didn’t like the Mr Higgins book by the same artist because the story seemed too long and dragged out in spite of being written by Mike Mignola. )
April 4, 2021
I was attracted by the cover art (curse you, Mike Mignola, with your cool angular artwork!), but these stories weren’t very exciting to me, and sometimes it was hard to tell what was going on.

In this follow up to Mr. Higgins Comes Home, Warwick Johnson Cadwell takes up the reins, both writing and drawing these delightful tales of somewhat clueless vampire hunters Professor J.T. Meinhardt and Mr. Knox, joined here by the instantly iconic and far more tenacious Ms. Mary Van Sloan. As in Mr. Higgins Comes Home, the hunters' monstrous quarry are often garrulous, charming, and doomed more by their own foibles than the efforts of their human antagonists. The episodic stories balance comedy and horror expertly, the result if pure fun and an effortless read. The action is propulsive and extremely well-rendered, with a great mix of a loose line, bold color, and great visual compositions. The stories definitely have a touch of Mike Mignola throughout, but Cadwell really makes the tales his own here, and thankfully these adventures are not connected to the greater Mignolaverse, so no need to worry about prophecies of Anung Un Rama getting in the way of the fun. Highly recommended and can't wait for more!

I love Mike Mignola and his sense of humor!!! A delightful graphic novel with fun little novellas!

Like the previous book, Mr Higgins Comes Home, this book really captures the gothic horror tone exemplified by the Hammer Horror movies of the 60s and 70s. The art, by Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, is gorgeous and really conveys the mood, reminiscent of classic cartoonists like Edwards Gorey or Charles Addams.
This book differs from its predecessor in a couple of ways. First, it is a collection of short stories, rather than one long tale. They're fun, and suggest a much broader world and greater series of adventures. Each one is complete and satisfying, while varied enough to keep things interesting.
Second, and perhaps more importantly, this volume is written and drawn by Johnson-Cadwell. The cover (and, indeed, the pre-press publicity from the publisher) made it sound like this was written by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. However, on the title page, Mignola only receives credit for creating the characters, while script and art credit goes entirely to Johnson-Cadwell. It's a really fun book, and totally consistent with the first one, but not being up front about the extent of Mignola's contribution feels a little shady on the part of Dark Horse, and I found that to be a little disappointing, and doesn't give Johnson-Cadwell the credit he deserves.

This book was so good! It's not one single story but multiple ones, adventures as it says on the title from Professor and his assistant and I loved it. I loved the vibe, the eerie, the monsters and the victorian gothic setting. Also beware that this could be a little gore!
Overall a completely enjoyable read.
↠ 5 stars

Delightful. The art accents the absurdity of the stories, leaning comical rather than dramatic. True, our protagonists aren't excellently fleshed out but they don't need to be. These are excercises in atmosphere more then the devoted telling of a character. I'm looking forward to more.

"Nasze potyczki ze złem" to kontynuacja przygód profesora J.T. Meinhardta i jego asystenta, pana Knoxa, którzy tym razem, wspierani przez nieustraszoną łowczynię wampirów, Mary Van Sloan, stawiają czoła wampirom, wilkołakom i innym nocnym kreaturom. Album, choć zachowuje lekki i humorystyczny ton, oferuje również głębsze spojrzenie na naturę zła i cenę, jaką płacą ci, którzy z nim walczą.
Mignola i Johnson-Cadwell ponownie łączą siły, tworząc serię krótkich opowieści, które nie tylko bawią, ale i skłaniają do refleksji. Każda historia, choć pozornie prosta, zawiera nieoczekiwane zwroty akcji i intrygujące interpretacje klasycznych motywów. Przykładem może być "inteligentny" wilkołak, który używa noża zamiast pazurów, aby ukryć swoje zbrodnie, co przypomina o słynnej maksymie Nietzschego dotyczącej walki z potworami.
Postacie, choć na pierwszy rzut oka wydają się nieporadne i komiczne, kryją w sobie głębszy tragizm. Profesor Meinhardt i pan Knox, mimo swoich nieudolnych starań, nieświadomie przyczyniają się do upadku wrogów. Ta ironiczna dynamika sprawia, że ich przygody są zarówno zabawne, jak i przejmujące. Mary Van Sloan, jako nowy członek zespołu, wnosi dodatkowy wymiar do historii, pokazując determinację i umiejętności prawdziwego łowcy.
Ilustracje Warwicka Johnson-Cadwella są charakterystyczne i mogą budzić mieszane uczucia. Jego styl, pełen karykaturalnych, kanciastych sylwetek i groteskowych scen, doskonale oddaje ton opowieści, choć nie każdemu przypadnie do gustu. Niemniej jednak, kreska ta idealnie pasuje do surrealistycznej i humorystycznej atmosfery komiksu, dodając mu unikalnego uroku.
"Nasze potyczki ze złem" to lektura, która łączy horror z komedią w niezwykle udany sposób. Choć fabuła nie jest skomplikowana, a postacie stereotypowe, komiks oferuje coś więcej niż tylko prostą rozrywkę. To refleksja nad naturą zła i nieprzewidywalnością życia, która sprawia, że czytelnik zatrzymuje się na chwilę, aby zastanowić się nad losem bohaterów.

In this hilarious followup to Mr. Higgins Comes Home, Mike Mignola and Warwick Johnson-Cadwell show that the vein of Hammer Horror parody they struck in the first book is very rich indeed. Returning here are the Professor Meinhardt and his assistant Mr. Knox, tracking even more vampires across Europe with new partner Mary Van Sloan. Once again they prove heroic yet inept, succeeding mostly by accident despite being thoroughly researched and excessively armed. Johnson-Cadwell, in addition to drawing the book, takes over the writing from Mignola this time around and does not disappoint; these three tales are every bit as fun, humorous, and sly as Mr. Higgins, further twisting the old classic horror tropes. The third tale left me particularly tickled. If there’s a constant in this new vampiric pocket universe of Mignola’s, it’s that nothing ever goes according to anyone’s plan - whether they be hero or villain. Monster hunting begets unexpected showdowns between ancient evils, while, elsewhere, expected showdowns with ancient evils don’t happen at all, or go completely sideways. And as before, Johnson-Cadwell’s art is a perfect counterpart to the story, enhancing the humor with its loose, warped expressionist portrayal and rich detail.

A luta contra o mal, vista com muito humor discreto por Mike Mignola. Este criador pega nos ingredientes clássicos do académico combatente do oculto com um fiel companheiro, que busca e elimina as criaturas que provocam sobressaltos na noite nas zonas mais exóticas da europa oriental. Mas o professor Meinhardt e o senhor Knox são dos mais desajeitados caçadores de vampiros e exterminadores de lobisomens que se pode esperar, os casos misteriosos que investigam resolvem-se não por eles, mas com eles como testemunhas improváveis. O humor fino de Mignola, a forma como brinca com as iconografias da ficção clássica de terror, é uma das coisas boas deste livro. A outra é o traço do ilustrador Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, que tal como Mignola tem um estilo gráfico incomum e expressivo, que assenta como uma luva no espírito destas histórias.

I love Mignola's artwork, but be warned that the only place it appears here is on the cover. Another writer and artist was given permission to use his characters (Professor Meinhardt and Mr. Knox) to spin out three short tales of vampire hunters in ye olde Europe. The combination of loose cartoonish art and campy humor blend nicely with the blood and gore and make for a fun little assortment of arch confections. The author is having a lot of fun with the proceedings, and so should most readers who pick it up with moderate expectations. There are one or two moments, especially at the end, where I wished I knew something about the stories that clearly preceded this collection, but on the whole I enjoyed it on its own merits.

Drei Kurzgeschichten inklusive Intro und Epilog. Die Ideen gefallen mir, die Ausführung nicht.
Man kann erahnen, dass sich vor klassischen Horrorgeschichten verbeugt wird (Vampire, Werwölfe und Vampirjäger in Osteuropa) und ein moderner, humorvoller Tonfall herrschen soll. Dort endet die Verbindung zu Mignolas Werken, denn die Ausführung durch Johnson-Cadwell ist lausig. Erzählweise und -tempo sind holprig, die Charaktere oberflächliche Klischees und der Stil plakativ und unbeholfen.
Der Klappentext ist mal wieder eine Frechheit ("endearingly terrifying tales" "set against the detailed and stylized background of Johnson-Cadwell's art"), ebenso die Verbindung mit Mignola.

Well this one was a first let-down when it comes to Hellboy universe stories.
Art was interesting but stories seemed so rushed that this [rather short] story collection read like a short toon from Cartoon Network channel.
If stories were more developed it would be great.
If you are interested in reading all tie-ins into the Hellboy universe then do read it. Otherwise do give it a chance by all means but if you are looking for detail story then this might not be for you.

Lovely art & quirky little stories set in a classic/Gothic horror world circa 19th century. The Professor and Knox are also joined by the tenacious & tough Ms. Mary Van Sloan, with crossbow & hoop skirt.
Stories include:
The Death of Lady Ruthven (Intro): tracked down by our heroes & stabby-stabbed still her box; Ms. Mary gets a knife in the ribs in the scuffle.

Encountering Evil
Our Encounters with Evil: Adventures of Professor J.T. Meinhardt and His Assistant Mr. Knox written by Warwick Johnson-Cadwell, Mike Mignola.
This graphic novel although not as stylized as many of the Hellboy books it has the charm and whimsical feel of Ward’s Rocky and Bullwinkel’s Fractured Fairytales. Come for the blood and stay for the clever way Meinhardt and Knox bumble there way across Eastern Europe.
