Mike Mignola is best known for creating acclaimed indie comic book character Hellboy, popularized in three feature films, animation, video games and other media — with another film, “Hellboy: The Crooked Man,” set for release this fall. Now, the writer/artist is collaborating on an all-new fictional universe, starting with this November’s “Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown” released by his longtime publisher, Dark Horse Comics.
It’s also the first book from Mignola’s all-new Dark Horse imprint, “Curious Objects.” Mignola and fellow artist Ben Stenbeck’s first book from their new “Lands Unknown” universe will be an anthology of folklore-inspired fantasy tales, both written and illustrated by Mignola.
