The Return of Effie Kolb is two-issue Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. arc written by Mike Mignola and drawn by Zach Howard. The second issue was delayed due to COVID-19.

Synopsis

Years after he banished the infamous backwoods demon known as the Crooked Man, Hellboy returns to Appalachia when a young psychic warns Tom Ferrell of looming danger. But the Crooked Man’s house is no longer empty and threats both new and old simmer in the Virginia woods.

Part Two

Following Hellboy’s strange encounter with the new residents of the Crooked Man’s home, a young spiritual sensitive still feels that something bad is going on in the old Virginia mansion… and she’s right.
