The third arc of the Hellboy series, Almost Colossus is responsible for the humanization (figuratively, not literally) and re-introduction of the greatest Hellboy hero fans have never heard of, Roger the Homunculus, who up until this issue had been cast solely as a rampaging monster bringing death to those around him. The ongoing Hellboy series saw Mignola produce some of the finest issues of thought-provoking horror comics to date, the best of which merit careful consideration and all the praise that can be bestowed upon them.
Mignola's success is in large part thanks to his abilities as a master storyteller with an impeccable sense of timing and structure, and his utterly unique artistic vision makes Hellboy comics stand out among its many competitors and imitators.

Alongside Spawn and The Walking Dead, Mike Mignola's Hellboyis one of the most well-known creator-owned comics success stories of the past thirty years. Over the course of three decades, Mignola has accomplished the incredible feat of taking the bare-bones sketch of a character from a random doodle at comic convention and turning it into a bonafide franchise with an ever-expanding list of ongoing titles, trade paperbacks, omnibuses, short story collections, one of the best non-DC or Marvel comic book movie adaptations, and merchandise to its credit.
