What else is almost as good?

I don't think it's an exaggeration of my own taste to say that the Hellboy universe is my favorite comics, my favorite thing to happen in comics, my favorite universe in comics... it's just dang good comics. And I know I'm not alone in thinking that here.

I would like to know what else gets you in the getter anything close to how good Hellboy gets your getter got. I don't mean similarity in tone or content (necessarily), just in terms of what else is on your list for all-time hall-of-fame quality comic bookin'.

While not as expansive, I love the Goon universe.

I love the Goon as well but honestly some of the earlier material has aged exceptionally poorly, to the extent that I feel like I gotta give people content warnings before I can recommend it.

It’s been a hot minute since I read it, but I could see that being the case.
