This is awesome. I assume we'll finally get to see some of these stories of Hellboy and the Professor working together

Good question… Scott Allie posted this teaser image on twitter on July 4th.

Not much help really. I know the article on HELLBOY & THE BPRD says that Alex Maleev will be doing covers and interior art. It could be the Mike is doing a promo image for it, or it could be something completely different.

Either way… Alex Maleev on a Hellboy book is an amazing score for the Mignolaverse. His run on Daredevil was a thing to behold. This is going to be something special...

Getting Maleev on Hellboy is a huge win for Dark Horse.

Getting Maleev on Hellboy is a huge win for Dark Horse.

To my knowledge Dark Horse already "got him" working on such stuff as Aliens VS Predator, as well as Hellboy: Weird Tales.

Plus I'd say Dark Horse has been the forefront to quality comics pretty much, over the last twenty years. So I'd say the Bulgarian mister Maleev does well with taking on this job.

Hard to tell, but could that be Stegner on the right of the cover? Could easily be someone new, but he's kinda got the nose

Looks like Stegner to me.

The Nerdist interview says Alex Maleev is doing the covers, although maybe Mike Mignola did a variant cover. I've no idea.

It certainly seems like it. All the clues fit.

Oh, my god! This is exactly what I wanted. I love the books as they are now, but with Hellboy and BPRD so separated I've always wanted to see the promise of those early stories: Hellboy as the team book it was originally envisioned as.

Maybe an eventual story set in the early '90s with the original HB/Abe/Liz team? ... Please?

My dearest wish is something set in the early 80s with brand-new Liz and Abe and seasoned vet Hellboy leading the team... :')

Hell, throw in some occasional appearances from the supporting cast too like Waller, Clarke, Raskin, O'Donnell, Vaughn... The possibilities of this series are enormous. It can go to any era. How about a young Manning?

The single most exciting thing about this for me: seeing Hellboy in the field with professor Bruttenholm. YES. I can't wait to see it.

I wonder if the series will be collected in the Hellboy Library Editions eventually. That'd be cool.
