      Hellboy už není žádný nováček, a tak vyráží po boku dalších agentů Úřadu k několika případům do exotických destinací. Čeká ho pátrání po sněžném muži, jenž napadl tým výzkumníků v Arktidě; přízračný opičák strašící rodinu na obyčejném americkém předměstí; a nakonec Hongkong, kde se střetne s démony pátrajícími po pradávné magické starožitnosti. Na tomto výletu do dramatického období studené války tentokrát s Mikem Mignolou spojil síly scenárista Chris Roberson, spolutvůrce komiksu iZombie, a též skupina výtvarníků, včetně legendárního Richarda Corbena, jenž do sbírky přispěl kresbou krátké povídky Zrcadlo.
