If you read digitally, the trade paperbacks and omnibus editions are readily available on ComiXology and Dark Horse Digital. If a book is available as an omnibus, that’s going to be the easiest way to track down those stories. To accommodate both, the reading order is split into two columns: stick to the left if you’re reading “Hellboy” in trade paperbacks or the library editions, or stick to the right if you’re reading “Hellboy” in the omnibus editions.Ī final note for new readers: once a trade paperback is collected into an omnibus, there will be no further reprints of that trade.

While we’ve tried to keep it simple, the “Hellboy” series is collected in both library editions and omnibus editions, which collect the stories in a radically different order. Mignolaversity’s reading order prioritizes the library editions and omnibus editions.
(There’s a text-only version below.) I’ve also included links to some other reading orders at the end as well as other useful resources. Otherwise, here’s our usual reading order. If you want to explore, but don’t want go out there completely blind, this simplified reading order may be for you. If you’re only interested in “Lobster Johnson,” that series works perfectly well on its own-you don’t need to read “Hellboy” to read “Lobster Johnson.” Discovery is meant to be a part of the reading experience, so don’t be afraid to explore a little bit. Many of these series can be read without reading any others. Just follow the numbers on the spines of the trades. Pick a series-“Hellboy,” “B.P.R.D.,” “Witchfinder,” “Lobster Johnson”-they’re all good starting points. The Hellboy Universe is made to be accessed from many different starting points. This is not the official reading order because there is no official reading order. Back in 2014, Multiversity Comics published our reading order for the Hellboy Universe and we’ve updated in annually ever since.
