“When I started the 'Hellboy' series way back when, I wasn't really thinking cons…” — 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.

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

I've always been much more comfortable with drawing fantasy stuff.
