Originally a 2021 Kickstarter project, the documentary Mike Mignola: Drawing Monsters follows the life of beloved Eisner Award-Winning comic writer and artist Mike Mignola and the creation of the Hellboy universe. Directed by Jim Demonakas and Kevin Konrad Hanna, the film consists of interviews with Mignola and other well-known creatives like Guillermo del Toro, Victor LaValle, Rebecca Sugar, and many others. Whether you know Hellboy, who first appeared in San Deigo Comic-Con #2 in August 1993, or Mignola through the comics and movies, this documentary does a fantastic job of peering behind the creative curtain and conveying why his work has resonated with and impacted many.
