Hellboy, Mike Mignolas famed comic book demon hunter, wanders through a haunting and horrific world steeped in the history of weird fictions and wide-ranging folklores. Hellboy's Worldshowshow our engagement with Hellboy's worldisa highly aestheticized encounter with comics and their materiality. Scott Bukatmans dynamic study explores how comics produce a heightened adventure of reading in which syntheses of image and word, image sequences, and serial narratives create compelling worlds for the readers imagination to inhabit. Drawing upon other media - including childrens books, sculpture, pulp fiction, cinema, graphic design, painting, and illuminated manuscripts - Bukatman reveals the mechanics of creating a world on the page. He also demonstrates the pleasurable and multiple complexities of the readers experience, invoking the riotous colors of comics that elude rationality and control and delving into shared fictional universes and occult detection, the horror genre and the evocation of the sublime, and the place of abstraction in Mignolas art.
