Deep inside Hellboy's folklore - By: Sbirginator, 14 Aug 2002 
I usually prefer long stories but the quality of Mignola’s work plus the slick spirits of the Hellboy’s character make it ideal for collections as well.
Asin “The Chained Coffin”, we have here another fine collection of Hellboy’s stories from very different periods of his life, delving deeper inside the character’s psychology & origin.
The initial very short & humoristic story “Pancakes” on Hellboy’s childhood perfectly introduces the readerin the Hellboy’s folklore, which lines up monstrous things alongside every day issues.
This book is also a good opportunity to appreciate Hellboy’s common denominatorsin very different scenarios from Norway to Japan.
A truly original and gothic masterpiece - By: Big Vig, 06 Dec 2001 This 'Hellboy' graphic novel is comprised of several stories that were originaly sold individually the book includes 'Pancakes', 'The Nature of the Beast', 'King Vold', 'Heads', 'Goodbye,Mister Tod', 'The Varcolac' & the title story The 'Right Hand of Doom' & finally 'Box full of Evil 'whichin my opinion is the finest 'Hellboy' story i have read so far, although i have not yet read the very first 'Hellboy' comics 'The Seed of Destruction' &
'Wake the Devil'.
The creator of Hellboy Mike Mignola is such a skilled artist & storyteller, his ideas are so well realised by this exquisite series of comic books. I love the way he has 'Hellboy' solving these fantastic mysteriesin places such as Sussex & 'Hellboy' himself arrived on this earthin a farm housein East Bromich !
Well done Mike Mignola,keep up the great work. I stongly urge anyone who enjoys atmospheric horror books or films to start collecting anything 'Hellboy'.
