The announcement of the fine art print is timed to the publication of a new hardcover edition of The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects, which features forty pages of new material. The new hardcover edition will include nineteen pages of the never completed, never-before-published Axorr, Slayer of Demons story, written and drawn by the legendary creator of Hellboy.
“The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects is a seminal work in Mike Mignola’s storied career,” said Melissa Lomax, Dark Horse Direct Director of eCommerce. “Fans can revisit their favorite dimension entombed in a turnip with Screw-On Head while he wrestles the fate of the world from the diabolical Emperor Zombie! This is a perfect display piece for any fan’s collection, and will only be available from Dark Horse Direct. Because of the expected demand for the print, we’re capping orders at two per person.” The AMAZING SCREW-ON HEAD 20TH ANNIVERSARY fine art print is expected to ship to customers this summer.
“As proud as I am of the Hellboy stuff, the stories that make up the Screw-On Head collection are actually my favorite things I’ve done,” said Mignola. “They are the most ME, they are as close as you’re going to get to looking inside my head and seeing the stuff that runs around in there.”
THE AMAZING SCREW-ON HEAD ANNIVERSARY EDITION will be available from Dark Horse Comics in comic book stores on July 20, 2022 and in bookstores on July 26, 2022. Pre-orders for The Amazing Screw-On Head and Other Curious Objects fine art print are now open.
