Today in Comics History, September 16: Happy birthday, Mike Mignola!

Born on this day: comics writer/artist Mike Mignola (Rocket Raccoon, World of Krypton, Gotham by Gaslight, and the creator of Hellboy and his supporting cast)! Here he is (in glasses) with Bill Wray!

Happy birthday, Mike! Draw more comics!

I’m a huge Mignola fan. I love Hellboy, stand-alone stuff like The Amazing Screw-On Head, just all of it. (Links are shameless plugs to my blog, slowly being updated to correct screwy HTML wrought by supposed Blogger improvements, with alt-text commentary inspired by a certain Little Stuffed Bull added in the doing.)
