really liked it

Mike Mignola and editor Scott Allie decide to let some other amazing artists and writers take on Hellboy, Mignola's magnificent creation, in a series inspired by (and using the name of) the old Weird Tales magazine.

Some really interesting character pieces here, especially the Liz Sherman story involving the anniversary of her parents' death and the demon Pazuzu (note the same figure from The Exorcist). This is primarily an art book, giving artists who wouldn't normally have a chance to draw Hellboy their shot to deliver a unique interpretation.

My favorite story in this collection, hands down, has to be the very first in the collection by Eric Powell (creator of the Goon), who writes a quick little tale of young Hellboy and his dog going where they were told not to and, of course, getting in trouble because of it.

Fun collection of stories running from the serious to the ridiculous.
