As mentioned in an earlier thread, here's Scott's February editorial:

Good year to be a Hellboy/Mignola fan.

[Petersen]

Indeed!!! It has been a loooong while since there was somethign almost every month that I needed to go to the comic shop for.

[ChristopherGolden]

Starting in August 2005, Pocket Books will be publishing a series of Hellboy novels. The first four are in progress. They are:

August 2005
HELLBOY: ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HELL by Brian Hodge

January 2006
HELLBOY: THE NEW ARK by Tim Lebbon

August 2006
HELLBOY: THE GOD MACHINE by Thomas E. Sniegoski

January 2007
HELLBOY: THE DRAGON POOL by yers truly.

I'm serving as an editorial consultant on this project, and I can tell you that each of the stories is very cool, and each is very different from the others.

[Tad]

Cool news, Chris. I trust each will sport a Mignola painting. Can't wait.

[ChristopherGolden]

Indeed, Tad. Mike's doing covers for all of the books.

[Myron L]

Awesome !!! This is good news indeed !

[Johann]

woo-hoo, great news, thanks ladyj for the listing and thanks Chris for news on the books- Tis a year of goodness!


*do'n th' Happy Dance*

[hellboyone]

Indeed, Tad. Mike's doing covers for all of the books.

And will they be littered (in a good way) with illustrations within as well?

R.

[Hellsaint]

Hoo boy. Stuff are scheduled all the way to next year, till 2007 for a book by Chris Golden?!
Jeez. You oldies aren't kidding that a HB fan need to practice patience, but the comics would probably make up for it. :)

[Ken O]

Wow, great news. I look forward to everything. Especially more Mike art and Chris writing. Dakini is one of my favorite Hellboy tales.

[jnapper]

Thanks for the update, Chris! :) Excellent about the covers too!

[Anakin]

Yay! There'll be more Hellboy books as well as comics. As much as I love comics, I'll always be a bookworm first. Thanks very much for the info, Mr. Golden!

...and new Hellboy comics. :) *bounces in eagerness*

[fitzroy]

More comics would be nice though.

[Risque]

Does that say.... The Island?!?! Those are coming out right before the SDCC! I'd better buy a second set of issues so Mike can sign!

[Kusanivy]

Whoo-hoo! More novels! I knew about the one coming out in August but I didn't realize there were going to be 4 new ones. I am a happy fan-girl indeed

[Otto66]

'Case anyone was wondering what "The Man with the Screaming
Brain" will be about, here is a blurb from Diamond Previews:
"MAN WITH THE SCREAMING BRAIN #1
by Bruce Campbell, David Goodman, Rick Remender & Hilary Barta

B-movie megastar Bruce Campbell, star of Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Bubba Ho-Tep, and The Adventures of Brisco County Jr., comes to comics with this adaptation of his upcoming feature film. Man with the Screaming Brain tells the story of a wealthy American businessman determined to exploit the crippled economy of a former Soviet state now torn between communist roots and capitalist greed. Campbell's character hits on the wrong gypsy girl and lands in the grip of a mad scientist determined to get rich off a twisted brain-transplant scheme worthy of Dr. Frankenstein.

FC, 32pgs..........$2.99"
Thanks for the update, Lady J. Thank you, also, CGolden. Books by you and
Tom and Tim and Brian should ROCK!
(Otto weeps softly as no mention of a Lobster Johnson story is to be found in the updates)

[painkiller]

im worrying about if there will be cbr :(~~

[jnapper]

im worrying about if there will be cbr :(~~

To my knowledge, Hellboy comics are not licensed to any CBR or CBZ formats.

(For people confused by the CBR abbreviation, CBR is a RAR compression file-- like a ZIP or SIT. The poster is not referring to ComicBookResources.com when he wrote about CBR.)

[black eyeliner]

a question.

is there anything still going on with the amazing screw-on head??

[Tad]

It's in script as a series on SciFi Channel.
