Koshchei the Deathless Omnibus - by Mike Mignola (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

The complete comics saga of the unkillable man and the Witchfinder who fight to defend what remains of the world after Hellboy.

Sent to kill Hellboy by the Baba Yaga in Darkness Calls, Koshchei the Deathless hinted at a long and tragic life before being enslaved to the Russian witch. Now Koshchei relives every horrible act on his road to immortality and beyond, with none other than Hellboy himself--in Hell.

Then, after the end of the world above and the death of Hellboy, Koshchei is summoned by the Witchfinder Ed Grey to finish the one task he could not--take up his sword again and fight a dark foe hell-bent on destruction.

Finally, Ed Grey is summoned by Alice, queen of the last standing realm on earth, to defend her and England against Morgan Le Fay and her champion in a final standoff. Grey must transform into the defender he was destined to be if England has a chance of surviving, while Le Fay has her own shadowy intentions.

Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and fan-favorite artist Ben Stenbeck team up for a final saga after the end of the world.

This hardcover omnibus collects Koshchei the Deathless #1-#6; Koshchei in Hell #1-#4; Sir Edward Grey: Acheron one-shot; and The Serpent in the Garden: Ed Grey and the Last Battle for England #1-#3; plus all epilogues, a cover gallery, and sketchbook section.

About the Author

Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse.There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney's Atlantis The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat.

BEN STENBECK is best known for his work on Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder, Hellboy and the B.P.R.D., two Koshchei the Deathless series, and his new creator-owned series Our Bones Dust (Image). He is currently working with Mignola on a new Lands Unknown comics universe.
