Other artwork that Mignola is auctioning include a sketch of Asterix and Obelix from The Adventures of Asterix, Hellboy and Astaroth from Hellboy, and a Harryhausen skeleton from Jason and the Argonauts drawn by Mignola and painted by fellow comic book artist and The Goon creator Eric Powell.
Mignola began working as a comic book artist in 1982, working for both Marvel and DC Comics before creating Hellboy, which was published by Dark Horse Comics in 1994.
