[edit] Picture
For some reason there is no picture of Hellboy in the right corner, unlike most bios. Just wondering if it was deleted accidentally or something. I noticed that in my browser (Firefox 1.5.0.7 I think) it seems to render at first and then disappear.
[edit] BPRD
Anyone have ideas on the translation of the BPRD's motto (from the film, unsure about comic books) "In Absentia Luci Tenebrae Vincu"? -- User:Palfrey
- "In the absence of light, darkness prevails".
- Not hard to deduce that, from watching the movie itself. The Latin is not all that hard either. =] Mackeriv 15:21, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] TMNT
I noticed someone added the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Hellboy's affiliations, but to my knowledge he's never had a crossover with them. Does anyone know why this was added? Jclarke 20:15, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
- Most likely someone jumping the fancruft gun due to both titles being under the Dark Horse banner. 63.233.19.56 09:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
As much as I'd like to see the TMNT team up with Hellboy, it never happened to my knowledge. Furthermore, since when was TMNT a Dark Horse production? The S 03:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fictional Catholic?
Why is Hellboy in the category Fictional Catholics? He doesn't strike me as one. His use of crosses, etc. seem to me to be strictly because they work, rather than because of beliefs any on his part. 17:52, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Agree with the above. Im removing Hellboy from the categorey. 207.233.110.65 19:08, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wait a minute
While I'm pleased that a Hellboy animated series is in the works, and even more pleased that Ron Perlman will be attached to it, what's up with Doug Jones being listed? He didn't actually provide Abe Sapien's voice in the movie. Master Deusoma 20:22, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Doug Jones is indeed supplying the voice for the animated Abe Sapien. I think he was offered the part partly because he didn't get to be heard in the movie. 13:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Not only has Doug provided the voice of Abe Sapien in both animated films (and will continue to do so if the films go to series), Guillermo del Toro told fans (and Doug) at the Fangoria's Weekend of Horrors convention in June 2006 that Doug will be both body and voice of Abe in the Hellboy sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army.

[edit] Amazing Race
Should I remove that reference to some guy on the Amazing Race having the nickname "Hellboy"? It sounds too trivial to be worth noting.
[edit] Original Sources
Does anyone happen to know where Mike Mignola got the orginal plot for "Hellboy: A Christmas Underground"? I remember reading that it was derived from folklore but I don't know anything more.
[edit] Hellboy (comics)?
Hellboy now redirects to Hellboy (comics) and this doesn't make much sense. This has been discussed quite a bit over splitting Battle Royale and Neverwhere - the original book, film, TV series forms the main entry and then you can have a disambiguation page to link to other related aterial (if need - it can probably be done in the article in this case). I won't move it back but I'd suggest it is moved. (Emperor 00:13, 20 September 2006 (UTC))
[edit] The Penanggalan
A while back I re-subscribed to Wizard magazine and got with it a free "exclusive" comic containing a Hellboy and B.P.R.D. story. The first was called Hellboy: the Penanggalan. The second and last, the B.P.R.D. story, was called Born Again. I'm wondering if these should be added to the uncollected comics section but I don't know if they have been printed elsewhere. The Penanggalan was definitely done by Mike Mignola.--TylerXKJ 00:11, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Affiliations
Added Kate to the affiliations list - she's mentioned on the page, but there's no link. Which is odd, since I had the impression she and HB were fairly good friends. I'd put something in the biography section but I don't have the comics with me and I'd probably just cite it wrong.209.89.155.128 02:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
