HELLBOY Creator Mike Mignola Announces a Vampire Comic Called MR. HIGGINS COMES HOME

I'm a big fan of Mike Mignola's work, especially with what he's done with Hellboy. His latest project has just been announced and I'm pretty excited about it! The project is a vampire graphic novel called Mr. Higgin's Comes Home.

Mignola wrote the comic and it will feature art from Warwick Johnson-Cadwell (Helena Crash). This story is an homage to old-fashioned vampire stories, and it features a pair of vampire hunters who have to convince the titular Mr. Higgins "to return to the scene of his wife’s tragic death and confront the dark mysteries of what happened to him at the sinister Castle Golga."

When talking to io9 about the project, Mignola said:

“I’d been a fan of Warwick’s work for a very long time. I met him recently, discovered he had a fondness for sad werewolves, and that got the ball rolling for Mr. Higgins. This one is a very affectionate (and obvious) nod to the old Hammer Dracula films and my favorite vampire film of them all, Roman Polanski’s The Fearless Vampire Killers.”

The fact that Mignola is taking on a story that revolves around vampires is pretty awesome. It seems like the kind of project he would have a lot of fun developing. I'll definitly be checking this one out!

Mr. Higgins Comes Home is set to be released right before Halloween on October 25th. Then there will be a widescale bookstore release on October 31st.
