Hellboy's strange adventure across the bone-strewn plains of Africa pits him against the singing dead, demonic insects, and the sort of woman only Richard Corben can draw. The final issue in this unique collaboration between Hellboy's creator and comics legend Richard Corben features a cover and twenty-one pages drawn by Corben, plus a three-page epilogue from Mignola, in an epic bit of African folklore reimagined by Mignola.

The mythological hellboy-esque hero Makoma fights his way to his destiny, and ultimately, his doom.
