Renowned creator Mike Mignola returns with 'Uri Tupka and the Gods,' the first in a new graphic novel series. This exclusive preview reveals a world filled with myths, monsters, and the heretic Uri Tupka's quest. The article explores Mignola's career, from his work with Marvel and DC to the creation of Hellboy, and offers a glimpse into the future of the series.
Mike Mignola , the iconic creator renowned for his monster-hunting sensation Hellboy , returns with an all-new graphic novel . Inspired by Mignola's profound passion for myths, legends, and monsters, this new graphic novel marks the debut of a captivating series from the legendary creator. Collider proudly presents an exclusive preview of Uri Tupka and the Gods, which is available in stores now.
This latest work follows in the footsteps of Bowling With Corpses and Other Strange Tales from Lands Unknown, a graphic novel anthology filled with stories inspired by folklore. Uri Tupka and the Gods is set within the same shared universe, introducing readers to Uri Tupka, a former doctor of theology who has been branded a heretic. The narrative unfolds as Tupka embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about the deities that govern his world. Mignola describes Tupka's journey as a series of near-misses and close calls, navigating a world filled with pirates, bandits, witches, demons, giants, and monsters. Adding to the whimsical nature of the story, there's a talking cat and a queen of the vegetables, because why not? The book is a testament to Mignola's artistic vision, with Mignola writing and drawing the narrative, and long-time collaborator Dave Stewart providing the vibrant colors. \Related to Mignola's work, the comics creator had a long-standing history with both Marvel and DC comics before creating Hellboy. Mignola's foray into comics began in the 1980s, where he worked with Marvel on titles such as Incredible Hulk, Alpha Flight, and Rocket Raccoon, and with DC on Phantom Stranger and Batman. Notably, he contributed to the iconic 'A Death in the Family' Batman storyline, during which readers were able to influence the fate of Batman's sidekick, Jason Todd. Mignola's distinctive art style, characterized by the use of heavy inks, was crafted to imitate the aesthetics of medieval woodcuts, giving his work a unique visual appeal. In 1994, he unleashed Hellboy: Seed of Darkness, a creator-owned comic published by Dark Horse Comics that introduced his signature character, an orphaned demon raised to hunt monsters. The Hellboy character achieved massive popularity, starring in numerous graphic novels and four cinematic adaptations, including the most recent, Hellboy: The Crooked Man, which Mignola co-wrote. The success of Hellboy proved to be the basis of a long career for Mignola and gave him the freedom to create Uri Tupka. \Mignola's passion for storytelling is evident throughout his work, as shown in his excitement for the new Uri Tupka series. 'This is some of the most fun I’ve ever had drawing comics,' Mignola stated. For fans eager to delve deeper into Tupka's world, Mignola revealed promising news: 'I’m already well into the follow-up book to this one (Uri Tupka and the Devils) with plans to do many more stories about this world. I feel that so far I’m still just scratching at the surface of this thing.' This hints at a rich and expansive universe for readers to explore. Uri Tupka and the Gods is now available for purchase wherever books and graphic novels are sold. Collider invites readers to stay tuned for future updates and insights into Mignola's captivating creations, ensuring fans are kept abreast of the latest developments in his fantastical worlds
