Hellboy Vol 10: The Crooked Man and Others

Hellboy Vol 10: The Crooked Man and Others (2010) Mike Mignola, Richard Corben

Frustratingly, Helloboy Vol 10 does not continue the story arc of Vol 9, but instead is another collection of stories, all set in Hellboy’s past.

Mind you, I tend to prefer the “short story” Hellboy collections, but the story line was really heating up at the end of Vol 9.

I hate waiting.

There are four stories in the collection, all of which are interesting, but I have to admit I kinda liked the last story the best, because it was kind of silly and the idea of it was rather fascinating.

The first story, however, really good. It was based on Appalachian folklore and touches on everything from basic witchcraft to the Melungeons.
Rating: 7/10
