*Miscellaneous 1960 Onwards: No, not X-Men – that’s a different update! – but Next Men, the science fiction series pioneered by John Byrne over at Dark Horse Comics. Though Next Men in general remains a respected run, the appeal of this issue specifically is that it’s the first full appearance of Mike Mignola’s character Hellboy, who appears in a Mignola-drawn chapter. Hellboy, of course, has been the star of two successful movie franchises, and looks to be in the public consciousness for some time to come. This is a respectable FN+ copy, with only a number of small spine ticks precluding a higher grade.
