The Hero Initiative Announces The Hellboy 100 Auctions Starting Today – Plus Cover Reveals

In collaboration with Dark Horse and Hellboy's esteemed creator Mike Mignola, The Hero Initiative are happy to announce their next project, Hellboy 100 goes to auction today. The charity, which helps creators in need, issued 100 blank sketch covers of Hellboy & The B.P.R.D. 1952 #1 to some of the most talented artists in the industry to produce their own take on Hellboy's legacy. The blank sketch covers will be auctioned off for charity, but also reproduced in a collected volume in both hard and softcover so we can all appreciate their skill and sentiment, with the proceeds from the sale of that volume also supporting the Hero Initiative. The collections will be released in September 2015.

The original blank sketch cover books will be auctioned off on eBay in lots of 10 each week for 10 weeks. The first auction opens today, June 2nd, at 12:30 Eastern Time, with the gallery of art going live at noon Eastern Time so viewers can see all the covers which have been produced. Various websites will be showing off covers today to spread the word about the auctions, and here at Bleeding Cool we have covers by Eric Powell,  Hanna Nance Partlow, and Jim Brozman:
