Introducing Endless Mode: A New Games & Anime Site from Paste
Few comic-book artists have as distinctive a style as Hellboy creator Mike Mignola, whose art often seems to come from an alternative universe where modern printing techniques never supplanted woodblocks, and the threat of monstrous extra-dimensional creatures makes H.P. Lovecraft stories read like reportage. In Hellboy and other projects, Mignola balances grim horror with a healthy sense of humor and a surprising amount of heart. Based on a one-off story, the 2006 pilot The Amazing Screw-On Head leans heavily on the humor, bringing in Paul Giamatti to voice the title character, an apparently ancient disembodied head who attaches himself to robotic bodies in order to fight supernatural threats for President Abraham Lincoln.
