Leonide the Vampyr - Mike Mignola

Descriere Leonide the Vampyr - Mike Mignola

MIKE MIGNOLA's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse.There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney's Atlantis The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his family. RACHELE ARAGNO was born in 1982 in Tuscany and is best known for her work on MEL THE CHOSEN, LEONIDE THE VAMPYRE, I HATE FAIRYLAND and STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC. \nRachele broke into the industry in 2019 with her debut graphic novel, MELVINA. Originally published in Italy by Bao, it has gone on to be translated into French, Spanish and English. Under the Random House Graphic publishing line, Melvina was brought to the United States as MEL THE CHOSEN and received critical and commercial success. It was named among the best books for young readers by the comics committee of the American Library Association. \nIn 2022 the Mel sequel MELVINA AND THE GIFT SERPENT was published in Europe and is awaiting a US release. Also in 2022, Rachele collaborated with comics legend Mike Mignola to create an original character, LEONIDE THE VAMPYRE, who starred in a pair of issues. Colored by superstar Dave Stewart, Miracle at the Crow's Head and A Christmas for Crows were released through Dark Horse Comics. Rachele followed up a big year with another comics superstar and joined Skottie Young at Image Comics for an I HATE FAIRYLAND short story in 2023. This year, she has gone to a Galaxy far far away with Dark Horse and Star Wars: The High Republic Series. She is currently working on a new comic for Bao and another top-secret project.
