Hellboy “Prototype” Dime Press #4 (Italy); 1993
A prototype incarnation of Hellboy appeared on the cover of Dime Press #4 (Glamour International Production, 1993), an obscure Italian fanzine, with “Hellboy©Mignola 93” written at the bottom of the cover. The cover, illustrated by Mignola and by the Italian artist Nicola Mari, show Hellboy in the act of attacking a “diabolic” version of the Italian SF comic book character Nathan Never (with bat wings and pointed tail). Mari at the time was one of the artist that work for Nathan Never, and the first two years of life of this comic were the main topic of the fanzine. With the exception of the cover, there is no other mention of Hellboy within the fanzine. The character shown was still in a draft stage, and although close to the final design of Hellboy, it had gray skin and an outfit not common to the character. via wikipedia
