Den of Geek: Can you describe the collaborative process working with Mike Mignola when youre writingAbe Sapien?
What is it about Abe that makes him an appealing character for you personally to write?
Abe is really trying to understand himself.
Abe thought it out more.
Abe was more curious and more determined to find out what he was all about.
Stazzs confirmation is kind of the thing.
But yes, Stazz put that to rest.
No, the denial is over.
The denial is at an end now.
I know you cant rush genius but withHellboy in Hell, do you sometimes wish that you could?
(Chuckles) Oh yeah… How do you explain that?
Were cutting back on him doing covers for… even his own other books.
And he really agonizes about this stuff, he really puts his all into it.
Hes writing two books for us right now.
Its a tremendous book, its worth the wait.
Its all about letting him do it the right way.
He has a particular story.
Now, at some point, Hellboy will end.
Its going to happen organically but we know how it ends.
Is it far away?
You know, its all relative, right?
If I said far away than that could be anything.
But Mike had it pretty well worked out by the time that we ended the first cycle ofB.P.R.D.
- when we endedB.P.R.D.and then started doingB.P.R.D.
Hell on Earth.
And Ive got to say that theres a lot of room for it to evolve.
Now, when that does happen is it all inclusive?
Is that it forB.P.R.D.as well as other characters or can they still continue?
The things that are in motion in their world, in Abes world and the world ofThe B.P.R.D.
we are heading toward a big big end to things.
So theres a lot of room to keep on doing comics.
TheresLobster Johnsonstories to be told, theresWitchfinderstories that we can tell for some finite period of time.
We cant do that.
