On Wednesday, December 6th, Dark Horse Comics is releasing HELLBOY WINTER SPECIAL: The Yule Cat!
The holiday season is full of cherished traditions: gatherings with family and friends, exchanging gifts, and, for discerning readers, the publication of the annual Hellboy Winter Special.
The special chilling wintery one-shot written & drawn by fan-favorite Hellboy artist Matt Smith is inspired by the stories of Jólakötturinn, the ferocious Yule Cat of Icelandic folklore, who is said to come down from the mountains on the prowl for people who have not received any new clothes to wear before Christmas Eve.
