Earlier this year, it was announced that the Mignolaverse would continue to expand with the five-issue miniseries Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness, a collaboration between Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson, artist Christopher Mitten, and colorist Michelle Madsen. Featuring occult expert Sir Edward Grey's investigation into the gruesome murders of Jack the Ripper, all five issues of Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness will be collected as a trade paperback in 2020 following their individual releases, and as a special treat for Daily Dead readers, we've been provided with the exclusive cover art for the trade paperback.

Featuring an ominous gathering of red-eyed birds, you can view the full cover art for the Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness trade paperback below ahead of its release on July 15th, 2020.

Offering some insights into what readers can expect from Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness, co-writer Chris Roberson shared these details with us:

"One of the first things readers learned about Sir Edward Grey when he was first mentioned in the pages of Hellboy was that he was involved in the investigation into the Ripper killings in 1888, which lead to him leaving government service shortly afterward. But just what it was that Sir Edward discovered, and who was behind the Ripper murders in the world of Hellboy, has never been revealed. In Witchfinder: The Reign of Darkness we are digging a little deeper into those mysteries, and learn that there is more to the story than anyone suspected, and that the Ripper murders we know about were only the beginning."
