Here’s the feel-good story of the week.

Ron Perlman, who starred as comic-book hero Hellboy in two big-screen adaptations, brought back the character for one day — for a Make-A-Wish hangout with adorable six-year-old fan Zachary, who’s battling leukemia.

According to special effects outfit Spectral Motion, Zachary had told the Make-A-Wish people he’d love to “meet” and “become” Hellboy, so they reached out to Perlman, who “loved the idea.”

Perlman went through the hours-long makeup procedure to become the hulking hero — and Zachary was eventually “transformed,” too.

The two new buddies spent the day together and took some great photos (below).

There are more details on Spectral Motion’s Facebook page.

We love this.
