Review by Booklist Review

This handsome collection of the first two Hellboy arcs is comparable in splendor to DC's slipcased Absolute gatherings of Sandman and The Dark Knight. Arc one, Seed of Destruction (1994), is Hellboy's origin story (but see Hellboy Junior, 2004, for his prehistory), revealing how Nazis were behind it all, though they were being used by that old Russki bogeyman, Rasputin. The somewhat longer Wake the Devil (1997) shows Hellboy putting the kibosh on the worse-than-Nazis scheme Rasputin got rolling in Seed. Scott Allie introductorily opines that Hellboy isn't the red demon we know and love 'til Wake, but Mignola's Ben Shahn-meets-the Austrian Secession-meets-Mervyn Peake style is uniformly magnificent.--Olson, Ray Copyright 2008 Booklist
