What starts (to Sir Edward's annoyance) as a minor investigation into Queen's representative demise in a small town in England ends up as a first contact with the humanity's offshoot living with creatures in the local marshes.

Story is very much like it came off the Twilight Zone script or from old horror stories inspired by Lovecraft. Was it good? I found it interesting, very eerie and with that "old" horror feel.

In terms of art this is third volume with third artist working on the comic. Art is interesting, clear lines and very expressive. It is much closer to art in volume# 1 than in volume #2.

In overall, I highly recommend it to all fans of horror and weird/strange tales and of course Hellboy universe. ( )

I'd not heard of 'Witchfinder' when I picked it up, and it has been a pleasing discovery. Sir Edward Grey is an investigator of the supernatural by appointment to Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. In 1888 he investigates a seemingly mundane murder in Hallam, Somerset, which turns out to have many secrets. The story definitely has a hat-tip to 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth' by H.P. Lovecraft, but pleasingly is not a carbon copy of that tale. Mike Mignola does not disappoint with his artwork. There are horrific moments but Sir Edward is steadfast in the face of danger. This is the third 'Witchfinder' book; I will seek out the first two based on this reading. ( )

As I've said before, I don't have much experience with graphic novels. But when my fiance described this novel as Lovecraftian, I said heck yes! And I'm glad I did. The monster was gross and horrifying, as it should be. The mystery was weird, and kept me intrigued and guessing until the end. What more can you ask for? Great artwork, fun story, and an enjoyable (and new for me) way to consume a detective story. ( )
