John Myers: My uncle used to say that we like people for their qualities but we love them for their defects.

Abe Sapien: [while stitching up Hellboy's forearm] How long did he touch you? 
Hellboy: I don't know? About 5 seconds? 
Abe Sapien: [pulls three eggs out of his forearm] Touched you five seconds, laid three eggs. 
Hellboy: Didn't even buy me a drink.

Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: 1937: Hitler joins the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. In 1938, he acquired the spear of Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ. He who holds it becomes invincible. Hitler's power increases tenfold. 1943: President Roosevelt decides to fight back.

John Myers: 1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45. 
Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: [amused] Did he now?

Hellboy: I'm fireproof, you're not.

Hellboy: Look, Sammy, I'm not a very good shot... 
[holds up his huge revolver]
Hellboy: ...but the Samaritan here uses really big bullets.

Hellboy: I hate those comic books. They never get the eyes right.

Young 'Broom': Your men, they'll need these. 
Sgt. Whitman: [sniggers] Are you a Catholic? 
Young 'Broom': Yes, among other things. But that's hardly the point. 
Sgt. Whitman: [locks and loads a pistol] Here. You'll need one of these.

Professor Trevor 'Broom' Bruttenholm: In the absence of light, darkness prevails. There are things that go bump in the night, Agent Myers. Make no mistake about that. And we are the ones who bump back.

Down's Patient: There's a big, red man down there. 
Doctor Marsh: That's fine, darling. Santa's not here for another month. 
Down's Patient: Not Santa.

John Myers: Hey, no one goes with him? Jesus. 
Abe Sapien: No. He likes it that way. The whole "lonely hero" thing.

Hellboy: I wish I could do something about this. But I can't. But I can promise you two things. One: I'll always look this good. 
[Liz laughs]
Hellboy: Two: I'll never give up on you... ever. 
Liz Sherman: I like that. 
Hellboy: Good.

from ‘Hellboy’ (2004) Starring Ron Perlman (The Last Supper), Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions), Doug Jones (Fanatastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer), David Hyde Pierce (The Perfect Host), and John Hurt (Snowpiercer). Written by Guillermo del Toro (Cronos) and Peter Briggs (Thunderbirds Are Go). Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark).

Hellboy created by Mike Mignola (B.P.R.D.)


Hellboy is a 2004 American supernatural superhero film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro from a story by Del Toro and Peter Briggs. It is based on the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel Hellboy: Seed of Destruction by Mike Mignola. Ron Perlmanstars as Hellboy, alongside Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans, and John Hurt in supporting roles. In the film, a demonic beast-turned superhero known as Hellboy secretly works to keep the world safe from paranormal threats with his team, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.

Hellboy was theatrically released on April 2, 2004 to positive reviews and grossed $99.8 million worldwide against a production budget between $60–66 million. The film was followed by a sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, released on July 11, 2008 by Universal Pictures, and a reboot, released on April 12, 2019 by Lionsgate.


Hellboy is a fictional superhero created by writer-artist Mike Mignola. The character first appeared in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (August 1993), and has since appeared in various eponymous miniseries, one-shots and intercompany crossovers. The character has been adapted into three live-action feature films. Two starring Ron Perlman in 2004 and 2008 in the title role, and one in 2019 which starred David Harbour, as well as two straight-to-DVD animated films, and three video games – Asylum Seeker, The Science of Evil, and as a playable character in Injustice 2.

A well-meaning half-Demon (or Cambion) whose true name is Anung Un Rama ("and upon his brow is set a crown of flame"), Hellboy was summoned from Hell to Earth as a baby by Nazi occultists (spawning his hatred for the Third Reich). He was discovered on a fictional Outer Hebrides Island by the Allied Forces; amongst them, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, who formed the United States Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.). In time, Hellboy grew to be a large, red-skinned adult with a tail, horns (which he files off, leaving behind circular stumps on his forehead), cloven hooves for feet, and an oversized right hand made of stone (the "Right Hand of Doom"). He has been described as smelling of dry-roasted peanuts. Although a bit gruff, he shows none of the malevolence thought to be intrinsic to classical demons and has an ironic sense of humor. This is said to be because of his upbringing under Professor Bruttenholm, who raised him as a normal boy.

Hellboy works for the B.P.R.D., an international non-governmental agency, and for himself against dark forces including Nazis and witches, in a series of tales that have their roots in folklore, pulp magazines, vintage adventure, Lovecraftian horror and horror fiction. In earlier stories, he is identified as the "World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator".

In 2011, Hellboy was ranked 25th of the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes by IGN.

Hellboy: Good. from ‘Hellboy’ (2004) Starring Ron Perlman (The Last Supper), Selma Blair (Cruel Intentions), Doug Jones (Fanatastic 4: Rise of the Silver Surfer), David Hyde Pierce (The Perfect Host), and John Hurt (Snowpiercer). Written by Guillermo del Toro (Cronos) and Peter Briggs (Thunderbirds Are Go). Directed by Guillermo del Toro (Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark). Hellboy created by Mike Mignola (B.P.R.D.) Hellboy is a 2004 American supernatural superhero film written and directed by Guillermo del Toro from a story by Del Toro and Peter Briggs. It is based on the Dark Horse Comics graphic novel Hellboy: Seed of Destruction by Mike Mignola. Ron Perlmanstars as Hellboy, alongside Selma Blair, Jeffrey Tambor, Karel Roden, Rupert Evans, and John Hurt in supporting roles. In the film, a demonic beast-turned superhero known as Hellboy secretly works to keep the world safe from paranormal threats with his team, the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. Hellboy was theatrically released on April 2, 2004 to positive reviews and grossed $99.8 million worldwide against a production budget between $60–66 million. The film was followed by a sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, released on July 11, 2008 by Universal Pictures, and a reboot, released on April 12, 2019 by Lionsgate. Hellboy is a fictional superhero created by writer-artist Mike Mignola. The character first appeared in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (August 1993), and has since appeared in various eponymous miniseries, one-shots and intercompany crossovers. The character has been adapted into three live-action feature films. Two starring Ron Perlman in 2004 and 2008 in the title role, and one in 2019 which starred David Harbour, as well as two straight-to-DVD animated films, and three video games – Asylum Seeker, The Science of Evil, and as a playable character in Injustice 2. A well-meaning half-Demon (or Cambion) whose true name is Anung Un Rama ("and upon his brow is set a crown of flame"), Hellboy was summoned from Hell to Earth as a baby by Nazi occultists (spawning his hatred for the Third Reich). He was discovered on a fictional Outer Hebrides Island by the Allied Forces; amongst them, Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, who formed the United States Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense (B.P.R.D.). In time, Hellboy grew to be a large, red-skinned adult with a tail, horns (which he files off, leaving behind circular stumps on his forehead), cloven hooves for feet, and an oversized right hand made of stone (the "Right Hand of Doom"). He has been described as smelling of dry-roasted peanuts. Although a bit gruff, he shows none of the malevolence thought to be intrinsic to classical demons and has an ironic sense of humor. This is said to be because of his upbringing under Professor Bruttenholm, who raised him as a normal boy. Hellboy works for the B.P.R.D., an international non-governmental agency, and for himself against dark forces including Nazis and witches, in a series of tales that have their roots in folklore, pulp magazines, vintage adventure, Lovecraftian horror and horror fiction. In earlier stories, he is identified as the "World's Greatest Paranormal Investigator". In 2011, Hellboy was ranked 25th of the Top 100 Comic Book Heroes by IGN. Source: Wikipedia

I’m (I am?) a self-taught artist, originally from the north suburbs of Chicago (also known as John Hughes' America). Born in 1984, I started painting in 2017 and began to take it somewhat seriously in 2019. I currently reside in rural Montana and live a secluded life with my three dogs - Pebbles (a.k.a. Jaws, Brandy, Fang), Bam Bam (a.k.a. Scrat, Dinki-Di, Trash Panda, Dug), and Mystique (a.k.a. Lady), and five cats - Burglekutt (a.k.a. Ghostmouse Makah), Vohnkar! (a.k.a. Storm Shadow, Grogu), Falkor (a.k.a. Moro, The Mummy's Kryptonite, Wendigo, BFC), Nibbler (a.k.a. Cobblepot), and Meegosh (a.k.a. Lenny). Part of the preface to the 'Complete Works of Emily Dickinson helps sum me up as a person and an artist: "The verses of Emily Dickinson belong emphatically to what Emerson long since called ‘the Poetry of the Portfolio,’ something produced absolutely without the thought of publication, and solely by way of expression of the writer's own mind. Such verse must inevitably forfeit whatever advantage lies in the discipline of public criticism and the enforced conformity to accepted ways. On the other hand, it may often gain something through the habit of freedom and unconventional utterance of daring thoughts. In the case of the present author, there was no choice in the matter; she must write thus, or not at all. A recluse by temperament and habit, literally spending years without settling her foot beyond the doorstep, and many more years during which her walks were strictly limited to her father's grounds, she habitually concealed her mind, like her person, from all but a few friends; and it was with great difficulty that she was persuaded to print during her lifetime, three or four poems. Yet she wrote verses in great abundance; and though brought curiosity indifferent to all conventional rules, had yet a rigorous literary standard of her own, and often altered a word many times to suit an ear which had its own tenacious fastidiousness." -Thomas Wentworth Higginson "Not bad... you say this is your first lesson?" "Yes, but my father was an *art collector*, so…"
