Hellboy: The Crooked Man
Short description
Hellboy and a new agent from the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense find themselves stranded in the rural Appalachian mountains during the 1950s.

This entity exerts control over the residents through blood contracts and possesses a disturbing connection to Hellboy's own history.
