Lobster Johnson will appear in an upcoming issue of Dark Horse Presents.

Mike Mignola's pulp hero will feature in 'Tony Masso's Finest Hour' in the pages of issue #9 of Dark Horse Comics' relaunched anthology.



The mysterious crimefighter gets more than he bargained for after pursuing a notorious mob boss.

"Lobster Johnson takes a beating!" said Mignola.

Lobster Johnson is the latest character from the Hellboy universe to be announced, following on the heels of Hellboy himself and the B.P.R.D.

At San Diego Comic-Con, Mignola announced the forthcoming Lobster Johnson: The Burning Hand miniseries, which will be illustrated by Tonci Zonjic (Who is Jake Ellis?) and serve as a 'Year One' story for the character.

Dark Horse Presents #9 will be released in February.
