They say confession is good for the soul. I suppose it is not customary to admit when you are jealous. We like to pretend we aren’t that fallible. But all you have to say is, “Mike Mignola” and I’m there. Mike is about three years older than me. Just three years. And look at all he has accomplished with Hellboy and the other comics of his “Mignolaverse.” Three years. And I remember the early Mignola. Most people don’t. If you dig through your old copies (of course you have them nicely stacked in mylar bags) of Different Worlds (1979-1981), an obscure gaming magazine, you’ll find early illos done by Mignola. And you’ll look at them and think, “Sheesh, pretty bad, eh? That kid’ll never come to much.”
But people improve. (Well, some do. The rest just get jealous, I suppose.) But it’s more than that. Mike Mignola isn’t just damn entertaining. He’s all that, plus he writes and draws about men and women who face monsters. That’s what I like to think I do, too. More jealousy.
