Fictional character biography

Hector Plasm is a benandanti who roams the earth in the hope of helping ghosts, humans, and demons alike to live in harmony with each other. The comic itself has a similar sort of formula as Hellboy by taking myths and legends from various places around the globe and putting them into a modern setting. Unlike Hellboy, however, Hector Plasm strives to be as faithful as possible to the myths presented within the text.
