Mike Mignola y Rachele Aragno se reúnen para Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda

El legendario creador de Hellboy, Mike Mignola, se une a la aclamada artista Rachele Aragno (Yuletide, Mel: The Chosen) para regresar al mundo de su aclamado Leonide la Vampira con un nuevo evento de cómics en dos partes, que debutará el 18 de marzo de 2026. 

Escrito por Mignola, con arte de Aragno, color de Dave Stewart y rotulación de Clem Robins, Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda ofrecerá a los lectores una nueva y aterradora perspectiva sobre los orígenes de Leonide y la embarcará en una nueva e impredecible aventura. Ambos números contarán con portadas de Aragno, con una variante para el número 1 de Mignola y otra para el número 2 de Márk Lászlo.

«Estoy completamente enamorada de Leonide y su historia», dice Rachele Aragno. «Cuando Mike y yo la creamos, no imaginaba que pudiera tener un mundo tan vasto a sus espaldas, lleno de historias, ancestros y un castillo gótico. Podría dibujarla durante horas, guiada por las palabras de Mike, que dan fuerza a todo lo que hace. Estos dos cómics revelarán una nueva historia de fondo para esta pequeña vampira que nos ayudará a comprenderla y quererla aún más».

«Los lectores adoraron a Leonide en sus dos primeros números autoconclusivos, y en esta historia en dos partes se verán aún más inmersos en su red», añade Katii O’Brien, editora de Dark Horse Comics. «Mike y Rachele combinan el terror y el cuento de hadas a la perfección, y nos ofrecen una historia tan aterradora como encantadora».

Los fans conocieron a Leonide por primera vez en los cómics independientes de Mignola y Aragno de 2022, Leonide The Vampyr: Miracle at the Crow’s Head y Leonide The Vampyr: A Christmas for Crows, donde la joven vampira encantaba y aterrorizaba a aldeanos desprevenidos, perseguida por un sacerdote no muerto en una misión para salvar al mundo de sus sangrientas maquinaciones. Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda comienza después de que Leonide es ahuyentada por sus últimas víctimas. Un buen samaritano la encuentra inconsciente y la lleva rápidamente en carreta a un médico, pero cuando la carreta llega, los conductores están momificados y la niña ha desaparecido, dejando solo una semilla en su lugar. Esta historia en dos partes seguirá la búsqueda del hogar ancestral de la niña desaparecida y revelará su horripilante historia familiar.

Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda #1 se publicará el 18 de marzo de 2026 por Dark Horse Comics.

Mike Mignola and Rachele Aragno Reunite for Leonide The Vampyr: The House of Yonda The New Two-Part Comics Event Explores Leonide’s Horrifying Heritage

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (November 18, 2025)—Legendary Hellboy creator Mike Mignola is teaming up with fan-favorite artist Rachele Aragno (Yuletide, Mel: The Chosen) to return to the world of their critically acclaimed Leonide The Vampyr with a new two-part comics event, debuting on March 18, 2026. Written by Mignola with art by Aragno, colors from Dave Stewart, and letters from Clem Robins, Leonide The Vampyr: The House of Yonda will give readers terrifying new insight into Leonide’s origins and send her on an unpredictable new adventure. Both issues will feature covers by Aragno with issue #1 variant by Mignola and #2 variant by Márk Lászlo. “I'm madly in love with Leonide and her story,” says Rachele Aragno. “When Mike and I created her, I didn't believe she could have such a vast world behind her, filled with stories, ancestors, and a gothic castle. I could draw her for hours, guided by Mike's words, which gives power to everything he does. These two comics will reveal a new backstory for this little vampire that will help us understand and love her even better.” “Readers loved Leonide in her first two one-shots, and in this two-parter they’ll be pulled into her web even deeper,” adds Dark Horse Comics editor Katii O’Brien. “Mike and Rachele blend horror and fairytale seamlessly, and deliver a story that is as terrifying as it is charming.” Fans first encountered Leonide in Mignola and Aragno’s 2022 stand-alone comics Leonide The Vampyr: Miracle at the Crow’s Head and Leonide The Vampyr: A Christmas for Crows, where the young vampyr charmed and terrorised unsuspecting villagers, pursued by an undead priest on a quest to save the world from her bloodthirsty machinations. Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda begins after Leonide is chased off by her latest intended victims. An unwitting good samaritan finds her unresponsive and whisks her away by wagon to a doctor, but when the wagon arrives, the drivers are mummified and the girl is missing, with only a seed left in her place.This two-part story will follow a search for the missing girl’s ancestral home and expose her horrifying family history. Here’s what Critics have to say about Leonide The Vampyr: Miracle at the Crow’s Head and Leonide The Vampyr: A Christmas for Crows: “A delightfully macabre experience.”—COMICBOOK.COM “Not to be missed.”—COMICS BEAT  “You may just fall in love with the vampire child just as the townsfolk did, but luckily we’re safe behind our comic and not in a seaside town on the edge of bad tidings.”—AIPT COMICS “Pure spooky delight… A delightful and charming follow-up to the newest addition to Mignola's creative stable, A Christmas for Crows takes what worked so well with the previous entry and wraps it up in tinsel - and a sense of melancholy closure.”—MONKEYS FIGHTING ROBOTS “Mike Mignola is a horror legend. His whole career has been spent playing with cryptids, freaks, and monsters, and Hellboy is one of the greatest horror comics of all time. Here, he gets to play around with a new world and remix vampire mythology alongside Rachele Aragno, a terrific artist.”—DEN OF GEEK “Oh, this story is glorious. Creepy, murky, and mysterious, but in a classic way. It reads like an old movie script, the intonations, the moods of the characters, the gloomy black and white setting, the rot, the salt.”—FANBOY FACTOR “Aragno delivers some beautiful art.”—SUPER POWERED FANCAST “Shiveringly spectacular.”—LEAGUE OF COMIC GEEKS Leonide the Vampyr: The House of Yonda #1 is due out on March 18, 2026 from Dark Horse Comics.
