    Question Utility belt and coat pockets

    Anyone know all the anti-paranormal things that Hellboy keeps in his utility belt and coat pockets?!? I assume an iron horseshoe and a rosary are two of them.

    I think that question would be difficult to answer definitively - I would imagine that the variety and number of pieces that Hellboy might have on him at any given time would constantly be changing.

    Part of the supplementary material on the Hellboy DVDs are "branching DVD comics" that were drawn by Mignola - one of them is for Hellboy's belt (and the amulets & talismans contained within).

    Some interactive images pop up when you hover over and click on certain pouches on the belt. Here are some of Mignola's sketches for those items:

    Just judging by that main image of the gunbelt, I think it could be inferred that the possibilities are almost endless.

    Skelton Crew still owes us a few of those...wonder if they're going to make any more? It's been quite a time since their last proper artifact release.

    It's like Batman's utility belt in that it contains whatever it needs to in order to tell the story.

    Exactly. Anything that you could imagine - yep, Hellboy's got that.

    Thank you for these images.
