The Foundry: In Peril on the Seas: From the Press Release: This Summer, Comics Legend Mike Mignola is reuniting with acclaimed writer and iZombie creator Chris Roberson and fan-favorite artist Christopher Mitten to introduce readers to The Foundry: In Peril on the Seas, a Hellboy Universe 4-issue mini-series featuring Queen Victoria’s secret agency with characters from Witchfinder and Hellboy: The Silver Lantern Club. Written by Mignola and Roberson, with art from Mitten, colors by Michelle Madsen, and letters by Clem Robins, all four issues will feature covers by Christopher Mitten.
"Long before Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. defended the world against supernatural threats of all types, the men and women of the Foundry protected Queen Victoria's Empire,” explains writer Chris Roberson. “But the operatives of the Foundry were adventurers and explorers with no time for the paranormal or the occult, only interested in the scientific applications of the artifacts that their expeditions uncovered or what engineering marvels could be devised from ancient discoveries. In The Foundry: In Peril on the Seas, Major Karam Singh and his fellow members of the Foundry go in search of an unknown menace that appears to threaten enemies and allies alike, unsure whether they are in pursuit of some sort of monster or something far worse."
Following Roberson and Mitten’s 2023 Panya: The Mummy’s Curse, the creators are once again delving into the rich history of the Hellboy Universe. Featuring the Queen of England’s very own secret agency, which first appeared in Witchfinder: The Gates of Heaven by Mignola, Roberson and artist D'Israeli, The Foundry: In Peril on the Seas follows the team as they travel the world seeking supernatural-powered technologies and the stories of the civilizations that harnessed them — for good and for evil.
“This is a really fun corner of the universe in which to wander and explore; finally seeing the Foundry in more detail than we have before is exciting," adds artist Christopher Mitten. "Chris, as he always does, infuses the book with such intrigue and heart, giving all these characters their proper moments to shine. He’s a remarkably gifted writer, and he makes it all feel effortless.Having the chance to again work with this team, these wonderful people with whom I’ve been telling these stories for the last decade, is truly such a joy."
“We like to explore the dark corners of the Hellboy universe, and it’s always important to us that each story stands on its own and is a story worth telling and worth reading,” says Editor Katii O’Brien. “The Foundry is no exception to that, and is a deep-cut look at humanity’s exploration into science and the supernatural long before the B.P.R.D. comes on the scene, but that has both ties to and implications for the Hellboy universe as a whole.”
The Foundry: In Peril on the Seas #1 is due out on August 12th. Follow Dark Horse Comics on social media for more news, announcements, and updates.
