520 "Hellboy, Mike Mignola's famed comic book demon hunter,
wanders through a haunting and horrific world steeped in
the history of weird fictions and wide-ranging folklores.
Hellboy's World shows how our engagement with Hellboy is
also a highly aestheticized encounter with the medium of
comics and the materiality of the book. Scott Bukatman's
dynamic study explores how comics produce a heightened
'adventure of reading' in which syntheses of image and
word, image sequences, and serial narratives create
compelling worlds for the reader's imagination to inhabit.
In Mignola's work, the imaginative space that exists on
the page and within the book becomes a self-aware
meditation upon the imaginative space of page and book. To
understand the mechanics of creating a world on the page,
Bukatman draws upon other media--including children's
books, sculpture, pulp fiction, cinema, graphic design,
painting, and illuminated manuscripts. Hellboy's World
delves into shared fictional universes and occult
detection, the riotous colors of comics that elude
rationality and control, horror and the evocation of the
sublime, and the place of abstraction in Mignola's art to
demonstrate the pleasurable and multiple complexities of
the reader's experience. Monsters populate the world of
Hellboy comics, but Hellboy's World argues that comics are
themselves little monsters, unruly sites of sensory and
cognitive pleasures that exist, happily, on the margins.
The book is not only a treat for Hellboy fans but will
entice anyone interested in the medium of comics and the
art of reading"--Provided by publisher.
