Hellboy In Hell #4 p 13 (Key Page WITH HELLBOY! Masked Guide Revealed Here & Origin of Sir Edward Grey!) 2013

From the CBR: Mike Mignola uses "Hellboy in Hell" #4 to bring the first story arc of the new series to a close, but as Hellboy finds out who his mysterious guide is, the path back to the world of the living looks fainter by the second. Speaking of "reveal" for the end of the first story arc, well here you have it, the mask guide for Hellboy is none other than the Witchfinder, Sir Edward Grey. This page features Sir Edward Grey's origin to the depths of hell, from the banks of Acheron (one of the four rivers in hell) with Grey as a shriveled up monster in the top image as only Mignola can do with his stark chiaroscuro style inks he's most known for. The lower panels show the monsters reconstructing Grey and stitching him back up, but it seems they don't know how to put a human back together. "Fortunately in those days there were creatures that lived in those rocks, I never learned what they were called, and they're gone now...But they gathered up my parts and stitched me together as best they could." And of course the last panel shows the masked guide reveal to be Sir Edward Grey himself. Here is a more detailed origin of Sir Edward Grey below... From Multivercity Comics "Hell Notes: Sir Edward Grey" by Mark Tweedale- "There were creatures that lived in among the rocks on Acheron's banks at that time, and they gathered up the pieces of Sir Edward and sewed him back together again. The creatures cared for him and brought him to the Castle of the Warlock Angus Weir. In life, the Warlock had sold his soul, and in 1813 When a horde of demons came to collect, they snatched the castle from Scotland and brought it to the banks of Acheron. But Weir had been clever. He had drawn marks on the castle that barred any demon from entering. Weir did not survive the journey to Hell, but his castle became the home and haven of Sir Edward. What happened to Sir Edward during his time in the Abyss is unknown, but when he appeared on Earth again he was unrecognizable as his former self. The cloaked and masked Sir Edward has appeared several times throughout the Hellboy series, usually in very strange company for a man that once thought all magic was an evil."
