Must Reads: B.P.R.D. 1946-1949

Hey, Mignola fans! In case you didn’t already rush out and buy it, don’t forget that the “B.P.R.D. 1946-1949” hardcover graphic novel dropped this week.

This series, as its title implies, takes place post-WWII and follows the story of Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, Hellboy’s guardian and mentor. He and the bureau are investigating one of Hitler’s many evil plots, Project Vampir Sturm, and the secret history of vampires. That’s right, nazi vampires, young Hellboy and the Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense. Who could ask for more?

Mignola’s work, as usual, is absolutely stunning, vibrantly colored and grotesque as hell. He did this series with the help of some very talented writers and artists. John Arcudi (writer, Rumble, BPRD), Joshua Dysart (writer, Harbinger, Imperium), Paul Azaceta (artist, Outcast, Daredevil, Amazing Spider-Man), Gabriel Bá (artist, Umbrella Academy, Casanova), Fábio Moon (Casanova, Daytripper), Max Fiumara (artist, Abe Sapien, Amazing Spider-Man) and Dave Stewart (Eisner-winning colorist, Umbrella Academy, Hellboy, Abe Sapien).

Check it out! Maybe you’ll see one of the artifacts we’ve replicated in this book. Or, better yet, maybe you’ll spot something we’re working on! Give it a read and let us (and Mike!) know what you think!
