Dark Horse Team Ups
When most folks think of Adam Hughes, they usually think of the beatiful women that he draws. Adam can draw anything well, but he’s so wickedly talented at drawing the ladies, that fans lucky enough to get a sketch from him usually opt for, you guessed it, a female character. You wouldn’t immediately think of Adam illustrating Hellboy [although I’d love to see a full Hellboy story drawn by Mr. Hughes].
That is one of the things that made Dark Horse 20 Years such a cool comic. In order to celebrate their second decade in publishing, Dark Horse Comics brought together over 35 of the most talented pencillers, inkers and colorists in the business to create 21 pinups for a comic that they sold for just 25 cents. In addition to the Adam Hughes Hellboy, the issue contained:
- Ghost by Art Adams & Michelle Madsen
- Conan by Sergio Aragones & Tom Luth
- Groo by Paul Chadwick
- Concrete by Chris Warner & Dan Jackson
- Black Cross [For the record, I really think it’s time for a new Chris Warner Black Cross mini-series] by Killian Plunkett & David Nestelle
- Star Wars by Eric Powell
- The Goon by Matt Wagner & Dave Stewart as well as many other characters & creators.
The issue makes a fun addition to any collection and the Adam Hughes Hellboy piece alone is worth more than the price of admission!
