Jonas Scharf drew the rather well done graphic novel adaption of the original prose story for THE WITCHER: A GRAIN OF TRUTH. More info & art at www.darkhorse.com/Books/3008-182/Andrzej-Sapkowskis-The-Witcher-A-Grain-of-Truth-HC BTW, Jonas is the artist for next year's CONAN: BATTLE OF THE BLACK STONE even miniseries. That is inspired by Robert E Howard's magical crossover of KULL and BRAN MAK MORN in his story KINGS OF THE NIGHT, as well as REH's reoccurring use themes, objects, & characters. It looks like it'll be an interesting way to introduce Conan fans to many of REH's other characters.

That was a cool issue. Does anyone have any recommendation for what collected editions of Hellboy to purchase? What are considered the definitive editions?

I like the look of the Monster Sized Hellboy hardcover (Kinda like the Colossal Conan volume by Dark Horse). Here's an overview by Omar comparing the other collected editions: Monster-Sized Hellboy Hardcover Overview | The Biggest Hellboy Book Ever!

Hun's recommendation is good in intent, but that MOSTER-SIZED HELLBOY colossal hardcover is over priced. You're better off buying the individual Omnibus trades. I would suggest ALL of them. Also, Mignola's B.P.R.D. spin-off series. While the art isn't always to my usual taste, it works for these stories & it's the moody myth-inspired stories that are the appeal. You can read a sample of pages from HB Omni 1 at www.amazon.com/Hellboy-Omnibus-1-Seed-Destruction/dp/1506706665/ref=monarch_sidesheet

Cool, thanks, guys. That monster edition could double as an excellent self defense weapon but it does look cool.
I've read a few Hellboy tales here and there but haven't read the vast majority of them. I think I may have read the first two or three arcs. I remember one where he got his ass kicked by the Wild Hunt, which was cool.

My Simonson Thor omnibus could be used as a bludgeon and barely scuff the dust jacket.
