Hellboy flies to Ireland in 1959, to investigate a case of a missing child, Alice Monaghan who was replaced by a shape-shifting fairy Gruagach. Knowing the nature of these beasts, Hellboy proceeds to torture the fairy by burning it with iron and forcing it to reveal the fate of the baby. Not being able to take the punishment, the fairy suggests Hellboy to head for crossroads at midnight and look for three of his folks.
Upon receiving this information, the fairy is thrown into the fireplace at his continuous pleading. Knowing this little folks play by certain rules, Hellboy heads to the crossroads at midnight falls. He met three of Gruagach's folks who gave him a deal of giving Tam O'Clannie's corpse a proper Christian burial in exchange for the kid and it should be completed before dawn.
Though, the vengeful fairy Gruagach made it hard for him to fulfill his commitment to the fairies and released a giant warthog monster Grom to take him out, the son of Demon is not intimidated at all. Two years after, in 1961, Hellboy goes to investigate another of folklore legend called the Iron Shoes in an abandoned castle of Ireland, only to find the legend to be true.
His next adventure took him to Bereznik, Russia three years after, in 1964, involving multiple cases of child abduction. This time the evidence is linked to the myth of Baba Yaga witch and the aftermath of their confrontation will leave quite a mess. His paranormal investigation continues as he goes looking for mysterious cases like A Christmas Underground, The Chained Coffin and The Wolves of Saint August.

Hellboy – The Chained Coffin and Others (Softcover)
Hellboy – The Chained Coffin and Others (Hardcover)
A great selective collection of writer/artist Mike Mignola (Abe Sapien, Cosmic Odyssey)'s early days of work on Hellboy franchise from Dark Horse Comics, all comprised on "The Chained Coffin and Others" trade paperback, years after the original publication. Although, Hellboy is often seen working with his partner Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman or other B.P.R.D. agents, these collection of tales were mostly based on his solo adventures, except "The Wolves of Saint August" and "Almost Colossus".
"The Chained Coffin" is one of Hellboy's solo missions, outlined by Abraham Sapien from a letter that the former wrote to him. Some of the stories were featured on the pages of Dark Horse Presents monthly ongoing series and these standalone mini-tales of eight pages, merged with two issue limited series "Almost Colossus", that is preceded by previous storylines "Seed of Destruction" and "Wake the Devil". Mike Mignola eventually won Eisner Award on "Best Writer/Artist: Drama" category in 1998 for his out-standing work on "Almost Colossus" mini-series.
