Description: Another star-studded issue of stories which Entertainment Weekly called, "A must for fans of Mike Mignola's retro-cool creation." In Jason Pearson's twelve-page story of a blighted house, the flame-throwing Liz Sherman is forced to deal with her family, who she killed when she was a little girl. In more light-hearted fare, Arcudi and Langridge deliver a bizarre take on Abe Sapien as the Bureau's second fiddle to the popstar Hellboy. Tom Sniegoski and animator Ovi Nedelcu show The World's Most Amateur Paranormal Investigator, Hellboy, on his first fumbling mission. And Cassaday's Lobster Johnson strip gets more bizarre with each passing panel.
