Publication History
Edit
The Lobster Johnson series made its debut with a short backup story, The Killer in My Skull, in Hellboy: Box Full of Evil #1. This story would later be collected in the first volume of the B.P.R.D. trades.
In September 2007, the Lobster Johnson debuted its first full miniseries, The Iron Prometheus, which would later be the first story to be released in a Lobster Johnson trade paperback.
In January 2012, Lobster Johnson returned for a new five-issue miniseries titled The Burning Hand, which takes place at the beginning of The Lobster's career. Writer John Arcudi has said the plan for future Lobster Johnson stories is to continue on chronologically from that point.
Since then there have been a few short stories with various artists.
