Ahead of the release of Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot, arriving on April 12th of next year, THR has announced today that next March will play host to the very first “Hellboy Day”!
The site details, “Next year, the 25th anniversary of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy will be upon us, and Mignola and publisher Dark Horse Comics have big plans to celebrate, including the announcement of March 23, 2019, as Hellboy Day.”
“To mark the occasion, Dark Horse will publish a 25th anniversary edition of the first Hellboy comic, Hellboy: Seed of Destruction No. 1 — with a new cover by Mignola and longtime collaborator, color artist Dave Stewart — to be given away at participating stores across the U.S. hosting Hellboy Day events.”
“Additionally, the publisher will release special Hellboy Day promotional material for retailers, including a tattoo sheet, a Right Hand of Doom bookmark, a window cling, an open/close store sign and a new version of the Mignolaverse timeline that originally debuted at New York Comic Con. Dark Horse will also offer promotional pricing on its Hellboy backlist, with stores taking advantage of the promotion being entered into a drawing for special prizing packages from the publisher.”
As we get closer to Hellboy Day, THR notes, more details will be announced.
