Paired with colorist Mark Chiarello, the art in “Seed of Destruction” intertwines the real and the supernatural in powerful ways. The confluence of real and fantastical occurs superbly in one particular scene.”—\u003ci\u003eComics Authority\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“In short, this ending ruined me.

Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like \u003ci\u003eCosmic Odyssey\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBatman: Gotham by Gaslight\u003c\/i\u003e. In 1994, he published the first \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (\u003ci\u003eB.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSir Edward Grey: Witchfinder\u003c\/i\u003e), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film \u003ci\u003eBram Stoker's Dracula\u003c\/i\u003e (1992), was a production designer for Disney's \u003ci\u003eAtlantis: The Lost Empire\u003c\/i\u003e (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on \u003ci\u003eBlade II\u003c\/i\u003e (2002), \u003ci\u003eHellboy\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and \u003ci\u003eHellboy II: The Golden Army\u003c\/i\u003e (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries.
