Trailblazing cartoonist and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is officially unstoppable. This November, he will release his third original graphic novel in just two years.

Following the massive success of 2025’s Bram Stoker Award-nominated Bowling With Corpses and 2026’s highly anticipated Uri Tupka and the Gods, Mignola is expanding his and Ben Stenbeck’s shared “Lands Unknown” universe with a brand-new folktale anthology exploring the origins of this strange world’s darkest legends.

Written and drawn by Mignola, with colors from the legendary Dave Stewart and lettering by Clem Robins, Uri Tupka, and the Devils is officially due out this November from Dark Horse Comics.

The Plot: A Library of Nightmares

Picking up right after the events of Uri Tupka and the Gods, our weary hero is still searching for the secret history of the universe.

After his search for the ancient gods ended with some answers and even more questions, heretic and theologian Uri Tupka travels further to discover the truth about the darkness that existed before the world began. He visits a mysterious Baron’s library, which is packed with esoteric, forbidden books beyond even Uri’s wildest imagination.

 While each night in the library brings him brilliant new insight and clarity, it also threatens to consume him entirely. Uri’s unquenchable desire for understanding sends him down a dangerously dark path.

Straight From the Master’s Desk

“Uri has found the gods but he still has questions and so he’s gone to look for the answers—In a nightmare castle full of devils!” Mignola says of the project. “See Uri change shape, tumble through his own inner workings, and take a pretty savage beating. I put the poor guy through the wringer in this one, and I feel a little bad about that, but you gotta do what you gotta do, and these ‘Lands Unknown’ are not all sunshine and flowers.”

Critical Acclaim

Fans and critics alike are already hailing this new universe as a peak creative era for the creator:
