Released January 1996
Hellboy: The Corpse and the Iron Shoes #1
Key Issue
Synopsis
The Monaghan's have a problem -- faeries have stolen their baby. Tam O'Clannie's problem is he wants a Christian burial, and he's already getting pretty ripe. Hellboy has more than his share of problems with border goblins, dead men, and war monsters, as he tries to make everyone happy in one night, roaming the Irish landscape looking for a Christian graveyard and finding only pagan monstrosities. The complete story, "The Corpse," the first part of which was serialized in Advance Comics, concludes here with an all-new back-up, "The Iron Shoes," in which Hellboy enters a battered, medieval tower to take on a footnote from Irish folklore.
