2015

Die Welt ist nicht mehr das, was sie einst war. Zerstörung, Verzweiflung und Misstrauen haben die Herrschaft an sich gerissen. Todbringende Kreaturen treiben ihr Unwesen … es ist die Hölle auf Erden. Nach dem verheerenden Froschkrieg liegt die Welt in Trümmern. Nicht nur das, auch die B.U.A.P. ist in sich gespalten, Konflikte stehen an der Tagesordnung und die B.U.A.P. kann nur noch unter der strengen Aufsicht der UN agieren. Die Begegnung mit einem jungen Mädchen mit hellseherischen Fähigkeiten hat schwere Folgen für Agent Sapien, Liz hingegen hat mit Fanatikern zu kämpfen, die ihren falschen Göttern Menschenopfer darbringen, Agent Johann Kraus lässt sich von Rachegefühlen leiten, in Russland mutieren Menschen zu mordhungrigen Monstern und Agent Ashley Strode muss sich einem mächtigen Dämonen entgegenstellen. Auch der neueste Hellboy-Klopper versammelt wieder einige der besten und talentiertesten Comiczeichner der Gegenwart, die im Mignolaverse ihr ganzes Können entfalten können, darunter alte Hasen wie Dave Stewart, James Harren, John Arcudi und Guy Davis, aber auch Neulinge wie Cameron Stewart oder Tyler Crook. Und natürlich Mike himself, mit dem Cross Cult 2014 das 20-jährige Hellboy-Jubiläum feiert!

Author · 3 books

Tonci Zonjic is a Croatian comic book artist and illustrator, called "the master of cinematic comics" by some, and "the guy with the unpronounceable name" by others. Starting out as an illustrator at age 15, he got into comics by creating a fanzine Pipci! (Tentacles!) in 2004, then working on several projects with Darko Macan. In 2006, he got his start in the US publishing market on Marvel's The Immortal Iron Fist, but was really noticed soon afterwards as "the guy who made the controversial Marvel Divas actually not a sexist comic". He has since worked on many projects, including writing and drawing short stories for the Popgun anthology and Mike Allred's Madman comics. Recent work includes the much-acclaimed Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand with John Arcudi, and his most known work is the Eisner-award nominated Who Is Jake Ellis?, with Nathan Edmondson, and its sequel Where Is Jake Ellis? He lives in Toronto, Canada with his wife and cat.

Mike 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.
