Early life

edit

Mike Mignola was born September 16, 1960.[2]He was raisedCatholic.[3]

Career

edit

Marvel and DC

edit

Mignola was born inBerkeley, California.[4]He began his career in 1980 by illustrating spots inThe Comic Reader.[5]His first published piece was inThe Comic Reader#183, a spot illustration ofRed Sonja(pg. 9). His first published front cover wasThe Comic Reader#196 in November 1981. In 1982 he graduated from theCalifornia College of the Artswith a BFA in Illustration.[6]

In 1983 he worked as an inker atMarvel ComicsonDaredevilandPower Man and Iron Fistand later became the penciler on titles such asThe Incredible Hulk,Alpha Flight,and theRocket Raccoonlimited series.

In 1987, he began working forDC Comicsas well. He drew thePhantom Stranger[7]andWorld of Kryptonlimited series.[8]With writerJim Starlin,Mignola produced theCosmic Odysseyminiseries in 1988.[9]Mignola drew covers for several Batman stories, including "Batman: A Death in the Family"[10]and "Dark Knight, Dark City".[11]WriterBrian Augustynand Mignola crafted theGotham by Gaslightone-shot in 1989.[12]

Batman#429 cover by Mike Mignola

In an early 2000s interview, Mignola was asked if his 1988 cover art and cover text forBatman#428 anticipated the telephone vote for the death of the second Robin (Jason Todd). Mignola responded:[13]

"It's so amazing to me that people are still talking about that damn thing. I didn't know if he was going to live or die, because I did the cover ahead of time. So the idea was: I'll draw him dead, and if he lives, then it's just a cover of him being badly hurt. I've gotta say---I don't think I was giving it a lot of thought. I never imagined I'd be talking about it all these years later."[13]

When asked if fans continued to question him about that cover, he replied, "You know, it does crop up. When people talk about my career, that is one of the covers that a lot of people kind of go back to. I wish I had something profound to say about it. But at the time, it was just another job."[13]In contrast, Mignola did not address his cover illustration of theJoker,and the accompanying cover text, forBatman#429. His visual depiction of the Joker anticipated prospective advertisements for his work inGotham by Gaslight,yet the cover text still adhered to the "Death in the Family"storyline. ThisElseworldsJoker is only briefly discussed inGotham by Gaslightas a man who married ten wealthy widows, poisoned all ten withstrychnine,and then ingested the poison himself when police attempted an arrest, resulting in partial facial paralysis. Mignola included a black-and-white police sketch inGotham by Gaslightthat did not replicate hisBatman#429 cover art, choosing instead to root that Elseworlds incarnation of the Joker inConrad Veidt's 1928 portrayal of Gwynplaine forThe Man Who Laughs.A scene fromTim Burton'sBatman,released in June 1989 (United States), additionally featuredJack Nicholson's Joker in atop hat,but without amonocle.[14]Two years later,Jack Shaheenpublished an assessment ofIslamophobiapervasive inJim Starlin's plot andJim Aparo's interior pencils for "Death in the Family," particularlyBatman#429, which prompted debates over Mignola's intentions.[15]

Through the early 1990s Mignola worked on covers and backup features for various DC and Marvel Comics.[8]He collaborated twice with writerHoward Chaykin.In 1990–1991, they produced theFafhrd and the Gray Mouserlimited series forEpic Comics,with inkerAl Williamson.This was followed with theIronwolf: Fires of the Revolutiongraphic novel in 1992.[16]

Hellboy

edit

Prior to 1994 Mignola's career had been spent doingwork-for-hireillustration for corporate publishers. That year,Dark Horse ComicsreleasedHellboy: Seed of Destruction,Mignola'screator-ownedproject. Though he wrote the story himself, it was scripted byJohn Byrne.The nextHellboystory,The Wolves of Saint August,was completely written and drawn by Mignola. Since then allHellboystories have been written solely by Mignola with the exception ofThey That Go Down to the Sea in Ships,which was co-written by Joshua Dysart.

Makoma(2006) was the firstHellboystory not drawn by Mignola, featuring the art ofRichard Corben.Corben would return to draw many flashback stories for the series. Other artists have also had a hand in drawing flashback stories includingJason Shawn Alexander,Kevin NowlanandScott Hampton.In 2007, following after 2005'sThe Island,British artistDuncan Fegredotook over art duties on the ongoing story arc ofHellboyfromDarkness Callsonwards.

Mike Mignola returned as the full-time artist forHellboyin 2012 for the series' conclusion,Hellboy in Hell.[17]

Abe Sapien

edit

In 1998 the firstHellboyspinoff,Abe Sapien,was launched. It was not written by Mike Mignola, but it did feature hisHellboyshort story "Heads"as a back-up.Abe Sapiendid not take off properly until a decade later in 2008'sThe Drowning.Since then it has had several short stories and beginning in 2013 it became an ongoing series withScott Allieas the lead writer with Mignola.[18]

edit

Lobster Johnsonwas the next spinoff, debuting as a back-up feature in 1999'sBox Full of Evil.The series got its own title later in 2007'sLobster Johnson: The Iron Prometheus.It returned again with theminiseriesThe Burning Handin 2012, followed by various short stories.

B.P.R.D.

edit

B.P.R.D.was the third spinoff, but it was the first one which was conceived to be more than just a one-off side story, but rather a series of stories.[19]It began with 2002'sHollow Earth,which continued on fromHellboy: Conqueror Worm.Beyond that followed a series of short stories designed to explore what the B.P.R.D. series could be. 2004'sPlague of Frogswas the story that solidified what the series was, and would set the direction for future books to come, so much so that the first major story cycle is collected in omnibus editions titledB.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs.A vast majority of the stories in this era were co-written withJohn Arcudiand drawn byGuy Davis.

B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earthis the main series continuing after the catastrophic events at the conclusion of thePlague of Frogscycle. Guy Davis left the series in 2011 with the conclusion ofHell on Earth: Gods.Tyler Crookbecame the new ongoing artist beginning withHell on Earth: Monsters,but he is joined by several regular artists, most notablyJames HarrenandLaurence Campbell.

Continuing whereHell on Earthleft off,The Devil You Knowis written by Mike Mignola andScott Alliewith Laurence Campbell serving as the regular artist.

Regarding the influence of his religious upbringing on his artwork, Mignola explained in a 2014 interview, "No, I don't believe in anything, really. Not on a conscious level. That is the beauty of it. I was raised Catholic. I was taught a bunch of stuff. I find religion fascinating, but at no time does any of that tie my hands. I get to play with stuff without getting too reverential. There's someMiltonianstuff to the geography of my Hell, the Hell I'm doing is much closer to the world I created inThe Amazing Screw-On Head.It's this pile, this jumble of old buildings for the most part. It's entirely made out of everything I want to draw. "[3]
