We told you during last month’s San Diego Comic-Con that Dark Horse announced Hellboy: Krampusnacht (along with a couple other Mignolaverse titles focusing on the villains; learn more here), and today we’re pleased to exclusively present two unlettered pages of Adam Hughes’ art from the forthcoming one-shot.

With regard to the comic’s holiday setting, Adam explains, “There’s no horror story quite like a Christmas horror story. Why should Halloween have all the fun? Christmas doesn’t have nearly enough monsters, if you don’t count relatives. I’m just surprised Hellboy hasn’t met the Krampus til now!”

The only thing more exciting than pitting Hellboy against this Satanic spin on Santa is the team-up of Mike Mignola and Adam Hughes. The Hellboy: Krampusnacht One-Shot goes on sale December 20, 2017.
