Description

When I was young, there was an aunt staying with us that really like this TV show starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. I didn't really have a choice but to watch it when she wanted to watch that channel.

I didn't mind it but never got into the show. I saw the comic at the LCS and did not read it. However, when I saw this issue 1 cover for sale, it did bring up those memories. I thought it was fun so I bought it.

The art is also by a then unknown (now superstar) Mike Deodato!

I have close to the same story. This show was my favorite of my mom's, and I thought about grabbing the cover as a novelty. Glad you snagged it!

It would be the equivalent to the fantasy romance shows we see in the CW and has a cult following of aunties around the world. One of the reasons Perlman would be a great fit for Hellboy was his ability to act under the makeup. This has a romance paperback look to it with the Beast having a long Fabio like mane and Linda Hamilton representing every attention starved housewife.

Interesting never knew Deodato worked on this! Thanks for sharing the backstory and congrats on adding it for your collection for personal nostalgia factor!
