Hellboy Creator’s Dark Fantasy Universe Officially Expands With Furious Redbrow Series
A growing fantasy world
Mignola, who created Hellboy in 1993, has built a long-running comics career around the character, who has also appeared in four feature films. He and frequent collaborator Stenbeck created the Lands Unknown, a setting shaped by horror, fantasy and folklore.
Redbrow’s earlier appearance
Stenbeck has collaborated with Mignola on Hellboy and Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense comics, and created the historical horror series Baltimore. His first Lands Unknown story was The Skinless Man, a two-issue tale.
In that story, a witch told an aged monster hunter about the title figure. She called the hunter “the God-Killer.” Furious Redbrow will now focus on that hunter’s past.
A three-issue origin story
Stenbeck is writing and illustrating the series. Dave Stewart will color it, while longtime Hellboy letterer Clem Robins will handle the lettering.
Issue arrives in 2027
Dark Horse Comics plans to release the first issue in comic shops on March 17, 2027. It will have two covers, one by Stenbeck and one by Mignola. The three-issue series brings a character introduced in The Skinless Man into the center of a new story, further extending the Lands Unknown setting.
