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

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)!
