The Hellboy series and its spinoff comics have been collected in over ninety trade paperbacks. They usually include extensive special features such as additional story material, forewords, afterwords, galleries, and sketchbooks. Starting in late 2021, several new series have been collected in hardcover collections of a similar length.
In Continuity Collections[]
These trades collect the canonical Hellboy Universe stories. They have been broken down by publishing line below.
Hellboy[]
Hellboy trade paperbacks occasionally contain additional story material not previously published; sometimes this is the presence of a new short story, a new epilogue, or a few new pages in a story. Trades always contain additional art, either in the form of a gallery or a sketchbook. Usually, each story is collected with a short text introduction containing background information on its creation.
These stories have also been collected in omnibus editions in which the stories were re-ordered chronologically. For a full breakdown, please see the Omnibus Editions page.
