AT THE DAWN OF TIME, MAN, BEAST, AND ALL MAGICAL BEINGS LIVED TOGETHER UNDER AIGLIN, THE FATHER TREE...

допоміжний теогонічний приквел до геніального фільма Дель Торо.
прочитано в кльозеті

Obviously this is from the film continuity but I think it's funny to imagine 1955 hellboy (who in the comics is a fully grown adult with 3 years field experience at the bprd and been in dozen of deadly battles) still requires his dad to read him a bedtime story ever night.

A pesar de que el estilo de ilustración no fue mi favorito, estoy super emocionada de tener conmigo el comic en el que convirtieron la parte introductoria de Hellboy II, mi película favorita de Guillermo del Toro.

Always love a hellboy story

[Drew Canole · Rating 3 out of 5]

An illustrated version of the movie's prologue where Broom reads to Hellboy the story of the golden army. Quite good, but not really necessary. Perhaps a full comic of the movie would be cool.

Always wanted to get more into Hellboy, this is a great prequel to the second live action movie
