About this listen

Today we sit down with artist and writer Rae Allen to discuss her new series Carmen Red Claw: Belly of the Beast, co-written with Mike Mignola and set in the Hellboy Universe. Rae shares how she built Carmen, a supernatural gun-for-hire in the 1870s Southwest, from a tiny piece of Lobster Johnson lore that caught Mignola's attention, discussing her striking visual design and shoulder demon, her research into Lakota folklore, and the experience of creating inside the beloved Hellboy Universe.

Issue #2 drops today (2/18/26), so go get it! You can follow Rae on her site, raeallenart.com, and on Instagram and X @raeallenart.
