Summary

An all-new, prestige hardcover book, this spine-chilling tome is filled with original short stories by some of the most respected names in comics. Featuring a brand new Mike Mignola Hellboy yarn combining Shakespeare and graverobbing; a canine adventure from beyond the grave from Jill Thompson (who won a 2004 Eisner Award for Death: At Death's Door) and her collaborator Evan Dorkin; and Mignola collaborator Gary Gianni mixing prose with comics. Also featured is a rare tale by the man ultimately responsible for Conan - creator Robert E. Howard; a story by celebrated B.P.R.D. artist Guy Davis, and a piece by the artist who's spent the last twenty years making comics more scary - Kelley Jones.
