Creation
Creation
Story writer Mignola created rough layouts or thumbnails, rather than a detailed script, in which as well as working out the action he also detailed the light and dark composition of the page for pencil artist Benefiel and inker Rodriguez to work from, which gave the work the Hellboy atmosphere.

Issue #2
The second issue (June 1, 1996) featured a cover by Mike Mignola. In the story Ghost delivers Hellboy to the being calling himself Peace on a mystical plane, but when he reveals himself to be Alal the Destroyer, who has been lying to her all along, the vengeful spirit and the world's greatest paranormal investigator must team up to avert the impending apocalypse.
Collected editions
The two issues were compiled and reprinted in the Ghost/Hellboy Special (June 25, 1997), which also included a two-page sketchbook of some of the thumbnail layouts and the preliminary character sketches Mignola provided for Benefiel to work from.
