I went to the local used book store like usual, made my rounds and went toward the comic book bins. Flip though the Marvel and DC sections, nothing much. Hit the indie/Dark Horse bin and BOOM!
Not in the usual comic book bag/boards, but in the collector plastic sleeves were all these issues. It seemed as if it were from the same owner(safe to assume because of the condition and genre of the books).
OG Hellboy issues from 1994-1997???!!
(and also some more recent 2007 issues that I got, too.)
Here's what I found:

Hellboy- Wake The Devil
Issues #1-5 (1996)

Hellboy- Almost Colossus
Issues #1&2 (1997)

-The Wolves of Saint August (TPB, 1995)
-The Corpose and The Iron Shoes (One-Shot, 1996)
-Christmas Special (One-Shot,1997)
-Hellboy Junior Issue #1 (1997)

And last but not least...
What started off this entire Hellboy infamy, the very first story arc of issues after his 1st Apperance, some valuable and historic indie comic book issues...
Seed of Destruction
Issues #1-4 (1994)
"The Book That Inspired The Motion Picture!"
Wiki-
"Hellboy: Seed of Destruction is the first Hellboy comic book mini-series, published by Dark Horse Comics. It was conceived and illustrated by Mike Mignola and scripted by John Byrne.
This was, in part, the basis for the first Hellboy motion picture."
What I like is that the whole Hellboy history did not confine itself into one comic book linear numbering or volumes (Ex: Amazing Spider-Man #1-600), every story arc is a separate set in itself.
Pretty hyped about this find. I get excited over little things like this in the used book/record/media store. Last time it was the Crystal Castles cd, now it's this haha.
