The second compendium of the Hellboy series includes volumes 5-7. Among other things, Hellboy travels to Africa after quitting his job, where he encounters a banana-throwing demon and the mysterious medicine man Mohlomi. As the story "The Third Wish" unfolds, Hellboy finds himself deep beneath the sea and in the clutches of a fish witch. Finally, Hellboy reappears in "The Island" on a strange, eerie shore. There, he is revealed the secret history of the world - and the mystery of his right hand! As usual, Mike Mignola blends the world of myths with modern horror and hardboiled elements into a poetically quirky narrative.
