A mysterious robbery in an ancient English mansion sets Hellboy and Abe Sapien on the trail of a saint, a warlock, a demon, an arch duke of Hell, and a gun-wielding monkey. The crown of the Beast of the Apocalypse becomes the main prize in a tale perfectly balancing action and occult suspense. Also this issue: Lobster Johnson, Mignola's new 1930s costumed adventurer, makes his debut in "The Killer in My Skull," written by Mignola, penciled by Matt Smith, and inked by Ryan Sook.
