Dark Horse Comics has announced a new four-issue miniseries set in the Hellboy universe called The British Paranormal Society. Written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson, the series will feature art by Andrea Mutti and colors by Lee Loughridge with covers by Sebastián Fiumara. The first issue drops in comic book shops on April 27th.
“I loved the dynamic between the British Paranormal Society’s Simon Bruttenholm and Honora Grant when they appeared in supporting roles in the pages of Witchfinder, and I really wanted to spend more time with the characters,” said Roberson. “When we first started talking about doing an Edwardian-era English folk horror story, it seemed the perfect opportunity to bring the pair of them onto center stage. Andrea Mutti was the first and only artist we had in mind to draw it.”
So what’s The British Paranormal Society about?
In the series, British Paranormal Society members Simon Bruttenholm and Honora Grant arrive at Noxton together, but with separate goals: Honora hopes to uncover information on the town’s strange traditions, while Simon is searching for his missing assistant. But their separate investigations lead down the same twisted path that hides a dark secret behind Noxton’s innocent façade! Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson expand the Hellboy universe with a spooky new tale featuring art by Andrea Mutti with colors by Lee Loughridge.
