12:45-1:30 pm – Room E141-144: Thirty Years of Hellboy: An Anniversary Celebration
Panelists: Mike Mignola, Michael Avon Oeming, Cara O’Neil, Chris Roberson. Moderator: Ben Saunders.
Hellboy is one of the most successful independent comic book heroes of all time. Creator Mike Mignola found the perfect outlet for his unique aesthetic sensibility with this great character, combining his love of both traditional folklore and pulpy drama with wit and panache across literally hundreds of exquisitely designed pages distinguished by an almost symphonic approach to the contrasts of extreme light and shadow. It’s hard to believe that it has been thirty years since Mike Mignola first summoned Anung Un Rama from the depths of his imagination. Join him in conversation with [TBD] for a special anniversary celebration of his work to date, and perhaps a glimpse into what is coming next for our favorite half-demon.
