George RR Martin's television connections with Hellboy

Before becoming the bestselling novelist behind Game of Thrones, George RR Martin worked in television during the 1980s. His time on shows like The Twilight Zone and Beauty and the Beast brought him into contact with actors and filmmakers who, years later, would take part in Dark Horse comic adaptations. And it is here that some unofficial analyses point to a pattern that goes beyond coincidence.

Coincidences or connections. On Beauty and the Beast he worked with Linda Hamilton, star of Terminator, and Ron Perlman, who years later would play Hellboy. Actress Selma Blair, who worked with Perlman on that film, also appears on the radar. And director Jean-Jacques Annaud, known for The Name of the Rose, is linked to the author's circle. Dark Horse, the publisher behind Hellboy and other works connected to Martin, completes a puzzle that conspiracy theorists consider more than a coincidence.

The fact is that Martin himself has remained silent about these connections. Meanwhile, trinc of this line of thinking keep finding links: actor Ron Perlman as the bridge between the 1980s series and the superhero comic universe. It remains to be seen whether these ties are simply the result of working in a small industry or whether they hide a more elaborate story.
