Comics Legend Mike Mignola and Hellboy Universe veteran writer and\u00a0iZombie\u00a0<\/i>creator Chris Roberson are teaming up with superstar artist Michael Avon Oeming (Powers<\/i>) for\u00a0Ghost of a Ghost<\/i><\/b>, an all-new 4-issue limited series spinning out of\u00a0Giant Robot Hellboy<\/i>. Written by Mignola and Roberson with art by Oeming, colors by Taki Soma, and lettered by Clem Robins, the series chronicles Agent Jian\u2019s psychedelic 1960s adventures.\u00a0Ghost of a Ghost\u00a0<\/i><\/b>#1<\/b>\u00a0will feature a cover by Oeming and a variant cover by Dave Johnson, with subsequent variant covers by Kevin Nowlan, Elsa Charretier, and Michael Cho.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of the stories that I\u2019ve worked on in the Hellboy Universe have started with a conversation, with me having the germ of idea or Mignola having a half-formed notion that he wants to explore,\u201d explains Chris Roberson. \u201cIn some cases, the original inspiration is mostly mine and other times it\u2019s mostly Mignola\u2019s, but this one was a fully formed Mike Mignola idea from the beginning. At a convention a couple of years ago he sat down with me, Mike Oeming, and Taki Soma and explained to us what he had in mind for this character that he\u2019d introduced in\u00a0Giant Robot Hellboy<\/i>, and then we got to work on realizing it. But from the very beginning we were all totally in sync with the vision that Mignola had for the character of Jian and her story, a jet-setting spy-fi thriller in the swinging Sixties, but approached in a way that we had never really seen used in a Hellboy Universe story before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fans first met superspy Agent Jian in Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo\u2019s 2023\u00a0Giant Robot Hellboy<\/i>, where she was exposed to enkeladite \u2013 the radiated substance known to cause sometimes monstrous mutations. Now, she\u2019s working with a mysterious spy ring and using her newfound powers to keep enkeladite from falling into the wrong hands \u2013 but just whose hands are the wrong ones is harder to determine than she thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m excited to be working on another Mignola project with writer Chris Roberson and colorist Taki Soma,\u201d says artist Michael Avon Oeming. \u201cWe\u2019re bringing a fun 1960s retro spy vibe into the Hellboy world, and if you have half as much fun reading it as we did making it, you\u2019re going to love it.”<\/p>\n

Ghost of a Ghost\u00a0<\/i><\/b>#1<\/b>\u00a0is due out on September 23, 2026. Follow Dark Horse Comics on\u00a0social media<\/a>\u00a0for more news, announcements, and updates.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
