The Comics Canon

Episode 171 – Hellboy: The Corpse (and Other Stories)


Listen Later

It's October, and that means it's once again time to scare up some spook-tacular horror and supernatural comics! We kick things off with a return to the world of Mike Mignola's Hellboy – specifically, the fan-favorite story The Corpse, as well as two other done-in-one tales: The Chained Coffin and A Christmas Underground!

Can everyone's favorite half-demonic monster hunter bury the corpse of Tam O'Clannie in time to rescue a young girl kidnapped by faerie folk? Can he survive zombies, a rat-demon and ... his own demon dad? And can these fun stories, steeped in folklore and striking visuals, measure up to that Right Hand of Doom known as ... The Comics Canon?

In This Episode:

  • A brief digression into The Iron Shoes
  • Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters
  • The Me You Love in the Dark
  • The Devil Rides Out
  • The new Hellraiser
  • Hellboy: The Role-Playing Game
  • Midnight Mass on Netflix
  • Doctor Sleep

Join us in two weeks as we delve into the first half of Swamp Thing: American Gothic (specifically Swamp Thing issues 37-42 and 44-45)!
