Lobster Johnson Omnibus Volume 1 - Mike|arcudi Mignola

Reading Dracula at age twelve introduced MIKE MIGNOLA to folklore and Victorian supernatural literature, from which he has never recovered. He began working as a comic book artist in 1982, working for both Marvel and DC Comics before creating Hellboy, published by Dark Horse Comics in 1994. What began as a single comic-book series would eventually expand to a Hellboy Universe of related graphic novels, prose novels, short story anthologies, and both animated and nlive action films.

He also wrote and drew The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects. He has co-written novels with Christopher Golden (Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire) and Thomas Sniegoski (Grim Death and Bill the Electrocuted Criminal), worked with Francis Ford Coppola on Bram Stoker's Dracula, was a production designer on Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire, and visual nconsultant to Guillermo del Toro on Blade II, Hellboy, and Hellboy II: The Golden Army. A new Hellboy film directed by Neil Marshall was released in 2019.

Mike's comics and graphic novels have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many ncountries. He lives in Southern California with his wife and a very demanding cat. JOHN ARCUDI has been telling lies since he was a boy.

Eventually it became clear that this was the only thing he was any good at. After a stint writing for Marvel, he ended up at Dark Horse, where he wrote, among other things, The Mask. John is best known as cocreator of Major Bummer and A God Somewhere, both for DC Comics, and collaborating with Mike Mignola.

Recent work includes his original series nRumble at Image and Dead Inside at Dark Horse, as well as Mike Mignola's Lobster Johnson and Crimson Lotus, also at Dark Horse.

JOE QUERIO began a brief stint in comics with an incredible opportunity to work with his favorite creator, Mike Mignola: a Lobster Johnson story for Dark Horse Presents titled Tony Masso's Finest Hour. Joe's next break was on the Witcher series, illustrating House of Glass and Fox Children. However, between Witcher volumes, Joe got the chance to work once more with Mignola and the incredible nJohn Arcudi on The Broken Equation, which became the highlight of Joe's illustrating career.

He's forever thankful for the opportunity to contribute to a universe that truly made him feel like a kid again.

Despite a rare case of Sasquatch leg and the desire to run with any northbound moose migration, he found the coloring arts were a suitable profession, allowing him to build a moonshine still in the hills of Southwest Portland. His coloring garnered him industry awards, unlike his feverish gathering of dry leaves for winter bedding. And he colors on.
