For anyone who doesn't know Hellboy - imagine Sam Spade as a demon superhero investigating supernatural threats H.P. Lovecraft might have written & you're somewhere close.
Admittedly this is not the best of the Hellboy stories - Mike Mignola admitsin an afterword that he lost control of the plot (the comic originally appeared monthly) - & if I were only marking the story I'd probably have wanted to give it 3.5 stars. Nonetheless, it is definitely worth reading with the trademark Hellboy mix of humour, action & horror, & the noir art as ever is wonderful (pushing it from 3.5 to a deserved 4).
A word of warning: although this is marked as vol.2 of the Hellboy series, there are storiesin vol.3 'The Chained Coffin & Others' which precede 'Wake the Devil' chronologically.
Mignola is GOD! - By: sv loth, 05 Feb 2003 
Mignola is God! Or should I say that he is the Devil who brought from hell the best super-hero of comic history! This stuff is very hot, oh boy this is so hot that you almost burn your fingers when you read such a quality story. Everything which make the universe of hellboy so exciting is at the rendez-vous: monster, gouhlish legend, mega fight with nazis...you will read it over & over again. In this volume hellboy is on mission to save the earth & hunt down Raspoutin the mad Russian monk & his Nazi troop .The ideal program to keep you awake all night!
Hellboy refuses his personal destiny and saves the world ! - By: , 28 Jan 1998 Another great entryin what is one of the best comics around. And don't worry - this IS illustrated by Mike Mignola, not James Sinclair - despite the description from the fine folks at Amazon! Mr. Sinclair does a fine job on the colors though! READ THIS BOOK!
