Mike Mignola Launches New Graphic Novel, Bowling With Corpses

Mike Mignola, renowned for his Hellboy series, has launched a new fantasy universe with his latest graphic novel, 'Bowling with Corpses and Other Strange Tales From Lands Unknown.' This anthology, inspired by various folklore, features a collection of macabre yet whimsical stories, including an adaptation of an Italian folktale about a boy who bowls with corpses. Mignola's new shared universe, Lands Unknown, allows for extensive world-building, with stories set in a fantastical reality filled with gods and monsters. The book, illustrated by Mignola and colored by Dave Stewart, marks the first release under his new Dark Horse Comics imprint, Curious Objects. In this project, Mignola aims to explore loose adaptations of folklore while creating a unique mythology and geography for his characters. Readers can expect more stories from this universe, promising a rich continuation of Mignola's storytelling legacy.
