Hellboy: Hoax or hero?
Hellboy is real!?
Picketers were at Wizard World Los Angeles a couple of weeks ago with signs and shirts saying 'Hellboy is real.' They were dismissed as wackies.
But today, stopping by my local comic book store, there was a UPS-looking truck outside with the expression 'Expose the B.P.R.D.' on it. Curious. The young lady in the back, Anna De Lima, was one of two dedicated individuals who have driven the country (that's right, the country!) spreading the word about the reality of Hellboy.
De Lima and Mike Zager have driven from New York to Philadelphia to Detroit to Atlanta to Chicago to Las Vegas, and finally to Los Angeles (maybe not in that order), with numerous stops in-between, for the expressed purpose of exposing the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defenses' cover-up of the existence of Hellboy. They show clips of Hellboy in action from the back of the truck, give out posters, and give out a DVD of an episode of "Investigative Journal" -- a show exploring the existence of the B.P.R.D. and Hellboy. (There's also a trailer)
"The B.P.R.D. is hiding Hellboy and keeping him secret. We have artifacts that were given to us by Conway Ricker (grandson of Norman Ricker, an alleged employee of the B.P.R.D.) and the van. We also have a book that's in a foreign language, necklaces and a medallion," said Zager.
Neither De Lima or Zager has ever seen Hellboy in person, but they know he's real. So why would the B.P.R.D. have all of this secrecy if there have been many sightings?
"I don't know. Nobody really knows for sure. There's been sightings for years, and recently there've been more and more. People know he's good. The name Hellboy is a whole misconception," says Zager. "That's why we want the B.P.R.D. to let people know. Why keep it hidden?"
Why, indeed. This is definitely one of the more ingenious promotions put together for a (ahem) movie, and reaches straight to the core fans that made Hellboy popular in the first place.

Yeah, I know that place. A typical hang out for the boys to play with the girls from Europe, kind of high ticket. Erotic vacations seem to be growing, I bet all other escorts resorts in the Caribbean will follow the Charlisangels concept.
