#MikeMignola knows that there’s one thing people will always think of when they think of his work.

“I have a one-sentence bio: Mike Mignola, the creator of #Hellboy,” the comic book writer/artist quipped in an interview with TheWrap. “So everything beyond ‘Hellboy’ feels like just me getting to play. I’m super lucky in that after all these years — I mean, 40 years of doing comics — my favorite thing to do is still to sit at the drawing table and draw all day.”

That’s despite Mignola now considering himself semi-retired, having completed the epic story of “Hellboy” over his many years as a comic creator. Both “Hellboy” art and more of Mignola’s work is now on display in the artist’s first-ever gallery show, running at the Philippe Labaune Gallery in New York City through New York Comic-Con next month.

Mignola is also releasing a new book from IDW, which contains all of the pieces being shown in the exhibition.

“I don’t think of it as an art book,” he said. “I think of it as the catalog for the gallery show. And I didn’t know that we were going to have an art book or a gallery catalog, but it made it much easier to let these paintings go, because I was very precious about the paintings, because I haven’t done a lot of them and I did them just for me.”

Check out exclusive glimpses of the new book and exhibition.
