Hellboy: Makoma #1 — NM (9.4), signed
Dark Horse Comics, February 2006
Modern Age · Horror / Mythology · 32 pages · $2.99 cover price
Hellboy: Makoma #1 is a celebrated Hellboy one-shot that unites Mike Mignola with legendary artist Richard Corben, blending Mignola’s stark mythological storytelling with Corben’s distinctive, painterly approach to horror. Set years before the core Hellboy timeline, this issue explores an early encounter with African mythology, expanding the character’s world far beyond its usual European folklore roots.
Written by Mignola, with cover art and story contributions by him and the majority of interior art handled by Corben, Makoma stands as one of the most visually striking Hellboy stories of the 2000s. Corben’s heavy shadows and sculptural figures pair naturally with Mignola’s minimalist pacing, making this collaboration a standout moment in modern horror comics. The story was widely praised on release and remains a favorite among Hellboy collectors.
This copy is signed by Mike Mignola, adding an extra layer of collectibility to an already desirable issue from the Hellboy library.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
NM (9.4). A sharp, high-grade copy with minimal handling and excellent overall presentation. Signature is clean and well-placed, with condition fully consistent with the stated grade.
