About Hellboy

One the comic book world’s more unusual figures, Hellboy is an irreverent half-demon who was summoned from by Nazi occultists.

Gigantic, Gigantic Brewing Goes To HellOn earth Hellboy grew up to be a giant, red-skinned cigar-smoking adult complete with a tail, horns, cloven hooves, and an oversized right hand made of stone.

Gruff and irreverent and darkly humorous, (think Deadpool without the F-bombs), Hellboy has been described as smelling of dry-roasted peanuts. And now Hellboy is managed (as well as he can be) by a secret government agency we’re fights his demonic impulses to do good.

Hellboy’s a comic book rock star… He’s appeared in graphic novels and comic books, novels and short story collections. Hellboy has starred in two animated features and two live action films. And Director Neil Marshall’s is just wrapping a third Hellboy film starring Ian McShane and Milla Jovovich set to release in April.
