Hellboy debuted in 1993 in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (Dark Horse Comics). Written and drawn by creator Mike Mignola, the stories have a flavor of supernatural adventure with a dark mood embodied by Mignola's unique sense of design (which may be characterized by Mignola's incisive line-work, and his distinctive balance of heavy shadows and pure colors).
Mignola's stories are heavily influenced by, and have been dedicated to, H. P. Lovecraft, Jack Kirby, Edgar Allan Poe, and other authors. Horror stories of the Weird Tales variety are another important influence. Writer Robert Bloch praised Hellboy as one of the most 'innovative and entertaining comics in recent years'. Hellboy stories have drawn on folklore from countries such as Russia, Ireland, Norway, Japan, and Malaysia.
Most of the Hellboy and related B.P.R.D. comics have been collected as trade paperbacks, and some later stories have been crafted by creators other than Mignola, including Christopher Golden, Guy Davis, Ryan Sook, and Duncan Fegredo. Golden has also written several novels about the character.
Hellboy remains one of the few Dark Horse titles to remain in print after the company's focus shifted from their own titles back to licensed properties.
