One day someone at Dark Horse asked if I was interested in writing a story about young Hellboy. I wasn’t, but instead of saying no, I said “What about two pages of Hellboy eating pancakes?” I thought it was a riot. I didn’t expect anyone else to like it, but it turned out to be a big hit with a lot of readers. It’s nice when that happens.

my favorite comic ever
some of my favorite dialogue ever written, never ceases to make me smile
The last three panels of this comic are without a doubt some of the funniest ever seen in any comic book 😀
The best Hellboy story. And I love me some Hellboy.
This is one of my favorite pieces of Hellboy canon. (Also, I have this voice that I do as young Hellboy… it’s somehow simultaneously deep & yet child-like. And “I don’t like pamcakes… they’re yucky!” is my favorite thing to say in that voice. So thank you. 🙂 )
I also like, how in the movie, he still calls them “pamcakes”.
