    Townspeople are bewitched by the charming young Leonide, but her outward innocence masks a sinister secret—and her even more sinister plans for them.

    This young girl seems innocent, but she may just be a devil in disguise.

    When young Leonide washes ashore in a small coastal European town, the locals are too concerned for her welfare to be bothered by the coffin she washed up in. Only the town bishop sees through her façade, and once she is in—there’s no kicking her out. Then, a winter holiday becomes even more chilling when ghosts of Leonide’s past come to celebrate with her. Finally, things come to a head when a young professor travels to Leonide’s family home to uncover her tragic and horrifying history, and may become wrapped up in it himself.

    In hardcover for the first time, this volume from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and Melvina creator Rachele Aragno collects Leonide the Vampyr: Miracle at the Crow's Head one-shot, Leonide the Vampyr: A Christmas for Crows one-shot, Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda #1–#2, and bonus sketchbook material.
    “Leonide the Vampyr #1 should have you ready and roaring for spooky season thanks to its fairy tale style and endearing art. You may just fall in love with the vampire child just as the townsfolk did, but luckily we're safe behind our comic and not in a seaside town on the edge of bad tidings.”—AiPT

    “Leonide the Vampyr: A Christmas for Crows isn't just an excellent Christmas read; it is the finest one-shot 2022 has to offer.”—Multiversity
    Mike Mignola's fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age; reading Dracula at age twelve introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore, from which he has never recovered. Starting in 1982 as a bad inker for Marvel Comics, he swiftly evolved into a not-so-bad artist. By the late 1980s, he had begun to develop his own unique graphic style, with mainstream projects like Cosmic Odyssey and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight. In 1994, he published the first Hellboy series through Dark Horse. There are thirteen Hellboy graphic novels (with more on the way), several spin-off titles (B.P.R.D., Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien, and Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder), prose books, animated films, and two live-action films starring Ron Perlman. Along the way he worked on Francis Ford Coppola's film Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992), was a production designer for Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001), and was the visual consultant to director Guillermo del Toro on Blade II (2002), Hellboy (2004), and Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008). Mike's books have earned numerous awards and are published in a great many countries. Mike lives in Southern California with his wife, daughter, and cat. View titles by Mike Mignola
