HELLBOY/B.P.R.D.—FCBD 2008 EDITION
To celebrate the release of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Dark Horse Comics presents an all-Hellboy/B.P.R.D. extravaganza for Free Comic Book Day 2008! Hellboy creator Mike Mignola teams up with Hellboy: Darkness Calls artist Duncan Fegredo for a look into Hellboy’s nightmares; Mignola also teams with his B.P.R.D. team of John Arcudi and Guy Davis for a breathtaking twist to recent events at the Bureau — a preview of the events in the upcoming series The Warning; and Hellboy Universe newcomers Joshua Dysart (Swamp Thing) and Paul Azaceta (Grounded) team with Mignola for another look into the world of their B.P.R.D.:1946 series for an adventure from the early days of both the Bureau and its most famous member! A perfect jumping-on point for new readers and a terrific treat for seasoned fans of the rich Hellboy mythos!
Mark sez: Sounds good to me - I read the first issue of B.P.R.D.:1946 the other day, and after the Lobster Johnson mini, the last main B.P.R.D. series, and the jaw-dropping DARKNESS CALLS, it's amazing how Mignola has fleshed out his Hellboy franchise into a rich and consistent line of books. And each with little moments that unexpectedly pay off in another series entirely. Turns out he's a one man Bullpen.
