Hellboy vs. Lovecraft


Recommended Posts

The film is an adaptation of the Hellboy comics(actually, the first series, Seeds of Destruction) written and drawn by Mike Mignola. Lovecraftian fiction is one of the many influences (as well as pulp adventures, mythology & folklore, and Jack Kirby) Mignola uses in the different Hellboy stories. It was intentional that those elements figured into the film.
