The undisputed master of shadows, folklore, and gothic comic book art is officially preparing to unleash a mesmerizing new wave of dark fantasy. Image Comics, in collaboration with Skybound Entertainment and Act 4 Publishing, has pulled back the curtain on Circus of Bones: The Art of Mike Mignola!
Serving as the official, premium companion hardcover catalog to Mignola's highly anticipated autumn solo gallery exhibition in New York City, this gorgeous volume is an absolute must-own crown jewel for Hellboy purists, watercolor enthusiasts, and fine art collectors alike.
Brand-New Visionary Paintings Unveiled
Unlike traditional retrospective books that merely compile older comic panels, Circus of Bones delivers entirely unreleased, pristine content. The massive 144-page book beautifully reproduces 53 brand-new, original watercolor paintings crafted by Mignola specifically for this historic gallery event.
The imagery plunges readers directly back into Mignola's hallmark visual playground: a hauntingly poetic universe heavily saturated with crumbling sepulchers, ancient ruins, skeletal monks, cryptic occult symbols, and striking crimson bats navigating high-contrast shadow fields. Every single painting is reproduced from high-fidelity archival scans, capturing the raw pencil textures, granular paint pools, and fluid brushstrokes left behind by the legendary creator.
Exhibition Details: Reclaiming NYC
If you are lucky enough to be in or traveling near Manhattan this autumn, you can witness these physical masterpieces completely up close! The original paintings will be displayed at the prestigious Philippe Labaune Gallery in New York City.
- Exhibition Runtime: September 17, 2026 – October 24, 2026
- Gallery Location: 534 W 24th St, New York, NY 10011
