The tea set was in the submarine at the end of King of Fear! It was a subtle little background detail, but I always loved that whoever it was in that suit bothered to keep the tea set around, even though he can't use it anymore...

Not sure if it's canon. We'll have to wait and see if it gets collected in a trade. Hopefully.
I think of it as more of a teaser than a complete story, so the abrupt ending didn't bother me.
Nice catch! I thought that was a pretty cool detail.
Wow, that is great. What a joy to be a fan and be able to add to something you enjoy so much. She has several other pictures on her deviant art page.
Was this short story ever collected in a TPB? The Hellboy wikia site says Vol 4: "The Shape of things to come", but that can't be true.

The trade paperback chronology linked from that page mentions it under uncollected Abe stories, so I guess that answers that question. Hopefully the next Abe tpb collects it and the others.
