A Hellboy in Hell teaser has been released by Dark Horse Comics.

Mike Mignola's best-known character will return in the December miniseries.



The character's ongoing storyline has been on hiatus since last year's Hellboy: The Fury.

The teaser is illustrated by Mignola, who is expected to provide art for the forthcoming series. He last drew a full Hellboy story in 2006.

The cartoonist previously promised that Hellboy in Hell would bring closure to his "Beast-of-the-Apocalypse storyline".

"That story has to get bigger before it can be put away," he said.

Hellboy in Hell will debut on December 5.
