Here's a preview...

It looks very good. And Pauline Raskin shows up again. Haven't seen her in a looooooong time.

Indeed. I was not familiar with Fiumara's work, very nice.

OffTopic: I browsed at his profile on CBR and that "Four Eyes: Forged in Flames" seems interesting. Anyone got it? Any good ?

Sweet! Even though she only had a small amount of panel time she had lots of dialogue in the stories she appeared, I was hoping we'd see more of her! Further proof that in the hellboy universe even the smallest supporting characters have the potential to become something more.

Where have we seen her before? Max's art is so stylized (I love it!) that I'm drawing a blank on where I recognize her from.

This is gonna be a great little story.

I think she was in The Ghoul, and I don't if it's ever been confirmed but the agent in that looked pretty similar to the unnamed female agent in Dr.Carp.

Aaaah, yes! Good eye, Guardian!

Heres the wiki page I knocked together for her just in case she ever made another appearance!

That's cool. You're doing a good job with getting that site in shape. Looks better every time I visit.

Looks like i'm not the only one who thought those two characters looked like the same person!

At first I was in two minds whether I liked the idea of the wiki, I mean I'm not into the spoiler culture of reading plot synopsis, especially when theres so much personal interpretation involved in reading the stories. However, I figure that wiki's are useful for tracking appearances of obscure characters like Pauline and other subtle stuff like the appearance of the Noh monkeys or characters and things that appear in the background like the Steel Hawk.

I'd also like to see the wiki take on more of a role in the continued appreciation of the stories by discussing them as literature with reference to other literature and art too, which is what I hope to contribute to the wiki in the future. For example, the character Astaroth is a 'real' demon that has appeared in occult/demonology books in the real world and descriptions of his appearance clearly inspired some of Mignola's interpretations of him. That kind of stuff is interesting and I think helps further our appreciation of the stories and the works that inspired them. I love folklore and reading Hellboy and the BPRD has helped inspire me to read about other aspects of it that I didn't know about.

Although its not explicitly stated I figured it had to be her, she looks and acts so similarly and the stories appeared roughly in the same in-continuity time period. Doing the wiki's for some of these minor characters has also inspired me to look back through old issues and I've started to make connections I'd have missed. For example Izar Hoffman who appears in 'The ectoplasmic man' was actually mentioned in the closing panels of 'The wolves of st august'.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Well spotted.

Theres so much depth in re-reading these comics! Can't take the credit for that spot though, found it on a post on the old darkhorse forum I think.

...Well, that was awesome. Professor O'Donnell was already really interesting, but now he's even more so.
