Oscar®-nominated director Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labryinth) and internationally renowned comics creator Mike Mignola have reunited to create a phenomenal follow-up to their 2004 blockbuster film Hellboy. This volume provides a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how they have crafted a lush fantasy world unlike any other, as it follows the project from its unlikely origins through to the final props and set dressings. Del Toro's shooting script is lavishly illustrated with his personal diary sketches, Mignola's early character designs, development art and storyboards from some of the most gifted concept artists in the business, and photos from the set.

With commentary from the creative team throughout—and a special look at some of the extraordinary creatures they produced—this volume is a testament to truly inspired filmmaking and character design.
