“The more I see of the movie business, the less I understand about it. I have no …” — Mike Mignola

There's a ton of stuff in mythology and folklore that is loaded with wonderful creatures that I haven't drawn yet, but that's kind of my retirement plan. Theoretically, I won't be doing comics any longer, and I'll just be drawing and painting whatever the hell I want. Most of that will be monsters.

The idea of a Frankenstein-like creature is something I've done several times. It's such an icon of the horror scene.

When I started the 'Hellboy' series way back when, I wasn't really thinking consciously about the humor, but Hellboy does have my personality, and that's an important part of my personality.

I'm thinking about color all the time. Sometimes even as far back as the plotting sequence.
