‘Frankenstein Underground’ and the Deaths That Tax Us
Frankenstein Underground is the magnificent postmodern crown jewel in the Hellboy-verse that creator Mike Mignola thinks of as a love-letter to Edgar Rice Burroughs. We think otherwise.
Hellboy creator Mike Mignola talks about a character who by his very nature resisted his fate and hoped to shape new options by his own hand.
As a prelude to del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army a Howdy Doody episode is an apt reminder of the ever-blurry line between truth and fiction.
