Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time #1 steps into a realm where chronology is the true adversary


A fresh four‑part miniseries expands the Hellboy mythos, following a bold chrononaut who slips into an uncharted dimension. With Mike Mignola co‑penning and Bruce Zick handling pencils, the debut promises a blend of eerie world‑building and striking visuals that make the passage of time feel menacing.
Dark Horse rolls out a brand‑new chapter of the Hellboy universe, titled Captain Henry and the Graveyard of Time. The first issue marks the start of a four‑part adventure, co‑written by the creator of Hellboy himself and illustrated by the artist behind Thor and The Atomic Legion. It’s positioned as a stand‑alone entry that still feels rooted in the familiar mythos.
The story follows Captain Henry, a daring traveler of eras, who finds himself thrust into an alien dimension where the ordinary notion of danger is turned on its head. The creatures lurking in this space are unsettling, yet the relentless march of time itself proves to be the more formidable foe, forcing Henry to confront the very fabric of existence.
What makes this issue worth your attention is the synergy between its creators. Mignola’s knack for atmospheric storytelling pairs with Zick’s dynamic line work, delivering panels that feel both cinematic and intimate. Zick also contributes to the script, ensuring the visual narrative flows seamlessly with the plot. Fans of Hellboy’s darker tone or Zick’s recent work will find a compelling mix of horror and adventure here.
If the concept of a time‑tangled odyssey intrigues you, you might also enjoy Zick’s recent run on The Atomic Legion, where his bold art style shines in a similarly expansive sci‑fi setting. Grab a copy of the debut and see how this new corner of the Hellboy world unfolds.
