Hellboy was taking up more and more of my time, and the Baltimore storyline got bigger and bigger, and I realized that I was never going to be able to take a year away from Hellboy to do this thing. Well, I had come up with an idea for a graphic novel- Baltimore, or the Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire-and I just never got around to it. How did you decide to start doing prose fiction?
