BURBANK, CA and MORRISVILLE, NC - FEBRUARY 2007 - HELLBOY fans can experience the action and adventure of the hit movie "Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms" on a new series of premium trading cards from Inkworks.

In "Hellboy Animated: Sword Of Storms," which was just released on DVD, folklore professor DR. BROOM opens a forbidden scroll and becomes possessed by the ancient Japanese demons of THUNDER and LIGHTNING, who seek to return and dominate our world. The doctor's Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense sends HELLBOY and a team of agents to investigate, but when HELLBOY picks up a samurai sword, he literally disappears into a weird wonderland of Japanese legends, ghosts and monsters. Meanwhile, BPRD agents KATE CORRIGAN and RUSSELL THORNE are on the trail of the possessed professor to bring Hellboy back in "Sword of Storms," a Starz Media production in association with Revolution Studios. It was released on DVD in North America February 6, 2007 by Starz Home Entertainment.
