You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Contents==
===The Corpse===
[[Image:Hellboy The Corpse and the Iron Shoes.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Cover by Mignola]]  
This story by Mike Mignola based on the [[Irish folklore|Irish folktale]] ''Teig O'Kane and the Corpse'' was originally serialized in two-page instalments in Capital City's ''Advance Comics'' #75-#82 and was reprinted in full for the first time in the one-shot ''The Corpse and the Iron Shoes'' (January 1, [[1996 in comics|1996]]) along with back-up feature ''Iron Shoes''.<ref name="DHCIS"/> Mignola has stated that when he first completed the story he thought that the limitations of the two-page format meant that it was the worst he had ever written, but feedback from people he respects has caused him to change his mind and he now believes it is one of the best.<ref name=CCOBook /> The story introduced Alice Monaghan and Gruagach, who would play a larger role in later storylines.

The story was later reprinted in the one-shot ''Hellboy: The Corpse'' (March 24, [[2004 in comics|2004]]) published to tie-in with the release of the first ''[[Hellboy (2004 film)|Hellboy]]'' film with behind-the-scenes art from a sequence it inspired.<ref>((cite web |url = http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/13-345/Hellboy-The-Corpse-one-shot |title = Hellboy: The Corpse |access-date = February 23, 2009 |publisher = Dark Horse Comics ))</ref>

In 1959 [[Ireland]], Hellboy is enlisted by the Monaghan couple to deal with their daughter Alice who was stolen by fairies and replaced with a changeling named Gruagach. After exposing Gruagach by burning him with iron, Hellboy learns that Alice will be returned on the condition that he gives the body of Tam O'Clannie a [[Christian burial]] before dawn. While Dagda sees Hellboy will honor the deal, a revenge-driven Gruagach attempts to stop him with the aid of [[Jenny Greenteeth]] before being swallowed by the released boar-headed giant Grom. Hellboy fights and defeats Grom, whose shrunken hide had bonded with Gruagach, and buried Tam. While Alice is returned to her parents, Hellboy learns that the fairies' child abduction was motivated by their need to avert their eventual extinction as they can no longer have children of their own.<ref name=CCOBook />

===Iron Shoes===
This story by Mike Mignola was created as a back-up feature for the one-shot release of ''The Corpse'' as according to Mignola  he didn't want to expand that story any further and he liked the sound of the title ''The Corpse and the Iron Shoes'' (January 1, [[1996 in comics|1996]]).<ref name="DHCIS">((cite web |url = http://www.darkhorse.com/Comics/94-528/Hellboy-The-Corpse-and-the-Iron-Shoes |title = Hellboy: The Corpse and the Iron Shoes |access-date = February 23, 2009 |publisher = Dark Horse Comics ))<br>- ((cite web |url = http://www.hellboy.com/_rev1/comic_1996-corpse.html |title = Hellboy: The Corpse and the Iron Shoes |access-date = February 23, 2009 |publisher = Hellboy|archive-url =http://arquivo.pt/wayback/20090707115929/http://www.hellboy.com/_rev1/comic_1996-corpse.html|archive-date =July 7, 2009|url-status = dead ))</ref>
