The second volume of the Abe Sapien: Dark and Terrible saga follows an AWOL Abe after his departure from the B.P.R.D. in the early chapters of Hell on Earth. On the run at the end of the world, Abe seeks the truth about his own connection to the plague of monsters threatening to wipe out mankind.
But is Abe's real goal to uncover the truth, or to run from it? Also seeking answers is a necromancer whose deal with the Devil was forfeited when Hell collapsed in
Hellboy in Hell. Could Abe Sapien hold the key to the sorcerer's attempt to make a contract with the masters of the impending apocalypse?
Collected in paperback for the first time, revisit Abe Sapien's adventures above and below the waves with stories from Mike Mignola and others, brought to life by the sublime art of Max and Sebastián Fiumara.

About the AuthorMike 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 wife, daughter, and cat.
