Dark Horse Announces Duncan Fegredo as Artist on Hellboy: Darkness Calls

Dark Horse Comics has announced superstar Duncan Fegredo as the artist for Mike Mignola's Hellboy: Darkness Calls, and retailers can use this news to ring up smoking hot sales with merchandise from Diamond!

Dark Horse has also released promotional art by Fegredo, images of which accompany this article. Known to consumers for his stunning covers on many of Dark Horse's Star Wars series, Fegredo has illustrated a diverse selection of comics, beginning with Britain's 2000 AD and including DC Comics/Vertigo's Enigma and Oni Press' Jay and Silent Bob.

"A few years back I was asked in an interview about dream jobs... Hellboy, I said, no hesitation," said Fegredo. "[...] With Hellboy Mike Mignola has created his own singular language in comics, and it's both a privilege and pleasure to be invited to collaborate."

Written by Mignola (who will also contribute covers) and scheduled for an autumn 2006 release, the six-issue Darkness Calls mini-series is a direct sequel to this year's The Island and propels Hellboy into the next staggering chapter of his adventure-filled life.

"Like Guy Davis, and unlike me, Duncan can draw anything," said Mignola. "He can draw the real world, he can capture the mystery and the atmosphere that the book needs -- but he's also a fantastic cartoonist, so he can keep the life and the humor that I try to get in my stuff."

Retailers can take advantage of the excitement generated by this announcement with a wide selection of Hellboy and B.P.R.D. merchandise offered by Diamond, including comics, trade paperbacks and collectibles such as a Baseball Cap (STAR09192I), License Plate (AUG040214U) and Shot Glass (STAR09241I).
