Hopefully. Thanks for the update.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but here I go:
I'm currently indexing all of my Hellboy (and related) books and just for the sake of it I want to list information about the printing # (mostly only for the trade paperbacks and some hardcovers, so [B][U][SIZE=3]not[/SIZE] for single issues/floppies[/U][/B].
Since different publishers use different methods I found it impossible to find out on my own just by searching for info online.
Anyone in on how Dark Horse does this?
Some examples from my TPB collection:
[B]Hellboy: Seed Of Destruction[/B]
First Edition: October 1994
Second Edition: June 1997
Third Edition: November 2003
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 -> I guess a 4th printing?
[B]Hellboy: Wake The Devil[/B]
First Edition: May 1997
Second Edition: November 2003
10 9 -> I guess a 9th printing?
[B]Hellboy: The Chained Coffin And Others[/B]
First Edition: August 1998
Second Edition: November 2003
13 15 17 19 20 18 16 14 12 -> No idea...
[B]Hellboy: The Right Hand Of Doom[/B]
First Edition: April 2000
Second Edition: November 2003
10 9 8 7 -> I guess a 7th printing?
[B]Hellboy: Conqueror Worm[/B]
First Edition: February 2002
Second Edition: November 2003
10 9 8 7 -> I guess a 7th printing?
[B]Hellboy: Strange Places[/B]
First Edition: April 2006
5 7 9 10 8 6 4 -> No idea...
[B]Hellboy: The Troll Witch And Others[/B]
First Edition: November 2007

[B]Hellboy: Darkness Calls[/B]

Yeah, paper shortages are causing books to be repeatedly bumped back.

Yeah, updating a bunch of dates now.
Thanks as usual! Do we know anything about the Sword of Hyperborea's various time periods? This is probably far off the money, but I thought the critter on the cover of issue 1 looked a lot like one of the later mutants in Hell on Earth lingering around New York. it'd be kind of interesting if the narrative started with one of them picking the sword up after Howards died.

I thought that critter looks like the beast from the first Witchfinder story. And I’m pretty sure they initially find that sword near his remains.
Edit: on closer inspection he looks more bat like. So my theory no longer seems right
