Here is volume 5 published in July 2012 (ISBN 978-1-59582-886-6, cover price 49.99$, 430 pages). As well as the original comics and their virgin respective covers, the books come also with sketches, alternative drawings, comments by the author(s), unpublished bits and pieces among many other cool stuffs. All the books from the Library Edition collection, apart The Art of Hellboy, share the same second and third of cover (same illustration on both).
Note that the following Hellboy related back-up short stories published alongside the original 8 issues of "The Wild Hunt" are not included in this edition (thanks to Kilfou from the BDGest forum for pointed out that fact):
- "How Koshchei became deathless" (in issues #2 & #3, art by Guy Davis)
- "Baba Yaga's feast" ((in issues #4, art by Guy Davis)
This edition opens with the usual Scott Allie introduction. Then "Darkness Calls" is introduced by Jane Yolen and "The Wild Hunt" by Mark Chadbourn. Of course Mike Mignola is in charge of the afterword.
The 66 pages Sketchbook section is commented by both the artists (Mike Mignola and Duncan Fegredo).
