Comic Anniversary Controllers

CRKD is Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Hellboy with New Line

The Nitro Deck Hellboy Special Edition is a unique collaboration between CRKD and Dark Horse Comics, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Hellboy franchise. This special edition Nitro Deck features artwork from the Hellboy comic book Omnibus Volume 1, Seed of Destruction, and has been created with input from Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. The design showcases Hellboy on the left side of the Deck, with tentacles that extend around to the right, enhancing the visual appeal. The back of the Deck is finished in a light grey with red back buttons and the Hellboy logo, adding to its distinctive look. The Nitro Deck is designed to enhance the Nintendo Switch gaming experience by providing a more comfortable grip, additional back buttons, and the functionality of a pro controller.

Te Nitro Deck Hellboy Special Edition and the matching Neo S controller are priced at $59.99 each. Pre-orders are currently available, with shipping expected to commence in June. Additionally, CRKD is offering a limited-time sweepstake where participants can win both the Nitro Deck and Neo S controller, each signed by Mike Mignola, making them unique collector’s items. The sweepstake will run for eight weeks, giving fans a chance to own a piece of Hellboy memorabilia.
