Hellboy: The Coffin in Chains and Other Stories

Mike Mignola is renowned not just for his long stories, but also for his short tales that play with the folklore of different countries, from which, like pieces of a puzzle, a picture of the vast, complex, and interesting world of "Hellboy" emerges.

This book includes eight such stories.

In "The Corpse," Hellboy returns a stolen fairy infant to its parents. In "The Iron Shoes," he captures a dangerous goblin. The plot of "Baba Yaga" reveals how the witch lost her eye. In the story "Christmas in the Dungeon," Hellboy, fulfilling the request of a dying woman, goes in search of her missing daughter. In "The Coffin in Chains," he returns to an abandoned church in East Bromwich while trying to solve the mystery of his origins, and in "The Wolves of Saint Augustine," he investigates the murder of an old friend. "Half-Colossus" and "Abe Sapien vs. Science" continue the story of the homunculus from the book "Awakening the Devil."

For the first time in Russia, the famous comic about Hellboy, which has won numerous Eisner and Harvey Awards, is released in the form of colored hardback collections, with notes and all existing additions at this time.
