Author’s
notes:This will probably end up being
quite a jumble of stuff from the film with a smattering of characters
and plot elements from the original comics. This will be very much connected
to ideas from my earlier Hellboy stories, especially ‘Father’s
Day Gifts’ and ‘A Tale of ‘Demon’ Rights’
. Most of the characters original to my own stuff will derive from these
earlier stories. However, there will probably be some other characters
of my own, mainly functional to the plot (whatever of it there is) that
will pop up during the composition of this story.
During
the development of this story I hope, finally, to get the character
of Abe Sapien into the mix. I love his character, both the comicverse
and movieverse versions, but for some reason have avoided writing about
him except in passing. I would like to rectify this omission. Also,
even though I have wasted a little more ink on the character of Liz
Sherman (mostly the movieverse version), I would like to spend a little
more time developing her character further.
Note:
This will be a series of chapters about different people who became
important in Hellboy’s life and could be considered as part of
his ‘family’. Depending on my stamina, it should be ongoing
for a while.
Warning:
This is sure to be riddled with SPOILERS for the movie. Read it at your
peril if you haven’t seen the film. Those of you who are only
familiar with the movie may note the change of Hellboy's ‘birth’
from October to December. In Mignola’s original comic it is December.
