When speaking of Hellboy, the two names that are sure to come to mind by the association are Guillermo del Toro and Neil Marshall. Though both of these artists helped bring the character to life on the big screen, they were not the ones who created it. The demon warrior who protects the Earth from out-worldly threats was created originally by Mike Mignola and has since appeared in countless comics, feature films, animation and video games. Thanks to the fundraising through Kickstarter, Mignola is now getting a documentary based on his career, announced The Hollywood Reporter.
What we know about the project so far
The documentary will be feature-length and is called Drawing Monsters. Through this, fans can get an exclusive first-hand look into the comic artist’s world that is full of action, superheroes, fantasy, and horror! Drawing Monsters will be directed by Kevin Hanna and Jim Demonakos and features interviews from Doug Jones, Neil Gaiman, Adam Savage and of course, the man himself- Mignola. Calling him one of the most influential comic book creators, the Kickstarter campaign for this documentary urges people to fund it so that after having given so many years of fame to Hellboy, Mignola can have some of the limelight for himself as well.

Trailer for Drawing Monsters and other works of Mignolia
Drawing Monsters will have footage recorded from studios, unseen interviews, demonstrations of comic creation, and much more, all through the eyes of Mike Mignola, capturing his legacy in having inspired so many artists. Although the trailer primarily features Hellboy art, the documentary will be covering as many aspects of Mignola’s life as possible. Apart from his excellent work in comics, he has also worked on some legendary films such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Blade II. He is currently overseeing Young Hellboy: The Hidden Land by Dark Horse Comics, the idea with which he came up during an interview with writer Tom Sniegoski.
