Скачать или смотреть Richard Corben’s Art Brings Appalachian Horror to Life in Hellboy's Crooked Man!

Published in 2008 and adapted into a live-action movie in 2024, 'Hellboy: The Crooked Man' is pure folk horror gold—a story about curses, debt, and demons that feel too close to real. In this episode we take a curated trip through this Appalachian nightmare, breaking down every haunting moment, every grotesque twist, and every brilliant stroke of Corben’s jaundiced, decaying but alive artwork.

We’ll talk about the real-life folklore that inspired the book, how Mignola tailored the script specifically for Corben’s unique visual voice, and why this story is such a powerful example of Hellboy at his most human—and most haunted. PLUS: background on Corben’s wild rise through underground comics, Mignola’s love of pulp horror, and what makes The Crooked Man one of the best horror comics ever made.

🪓 Demons, boiled cat bones, skin-walkers and the devil himself—this one’s got it all. Hit play and let’s head into the woods!!
