One of the last followers of the Heliopic Brotherhood of Ra, the unassuming Miss Truesdale is the recipient of Brotherhood leader Tefnut Trionus’s final vision.

Hellboy creator Mike Mignola teams with artist Jesse Lonergan for an all-new time-bending horror tale from the Mignolaverse.

Longergan also shared the following statement about his work on Miss Truesdale, a story set over a century before Hellboy’s modern adventures.
“I still find it hard to believe that I’ve gotten to do a series in the Hellboy Universe written by Mike Mignola. And I’m getting to contribute to the telling of such a cool story that explores previously unseen parts of the universe and looks at the duality of Miss Truesdale through conflicts in past and present lives in gladiatorial rings, secret occult societies, ancient cities and primordial forests with evil priests, the Black goddess, living statues, and even a forest god. It’s really an artist’s dream, and I just tried to match the energy that Mignola was bringing to the project, and I feel that visually as well as narratively the story builds to a truly climactic ending.”
