Description

Mike Mignola's Hellboy Into the Silent Sea is a glorious treatment showcasing Gary Gianni's original artwork in an exquisite book. This collection includes revealing commentary regarding how two legendary comic-book creators seamlessly developed this Hellboy sea saga from the core of an idea into a finished work of art. The combined talents of Mignola and Gianni are on display as the reader follows along the path of the creative process: The script, preliminary roughs, reference photos, completed pencil drawings and finished inks are all shared and discussed. The pencil drawings provide insight not only for the student but also for any fan who enjoys lavishly reproduced comic art. Gianni's commentary and preliminary pages are intertwined to provide an light-hearted look into the creation of a comic story.

Critical Reviews

"Gary is a genius. And not just a regular kind of genius, but a very specific type of genius--the kind you think of when you want someone to draw and co-write a ghost and monster story that takes place on a ship and you want it to look like it was done in 1902. Come to think of it he's the only guy you think of when you want something like that. He's THAT kind of genius."

--Mike Mignola


"After many years of talking about Moby Dick, the book and the film, Victorian ghost stories, comics, folklore and history in general, Mike Mignola, Hellboy and I embarked on graphic novel adventure entitled Into the Silent Sea. The story begins with Hellboy marooned in the Sargasso Sea and ends in that misty inexplicable realm where classic tales of horror usually wind up. I count myself among the many fans who wish Mignola will write and draw more Hellboy stories exclusively someday, but in the meantime, I hope our combined effort will thrill you a little and chill you a little..."
