If you're in for Lovecraftian horror and Nazi punching, pick up B.P.R.D: 1946-1948

bprd

I cant get enough of Mignolas occult investigators. The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense first appeared in the Hellboy series, however the comics have spiraled off to rightfully stand on their own. This HUGE hardback collects stories from the Bureaus early years, not long after its creation in 1944. If youve been following the series, this collection fills in a large gap between the organization's inception, and where the Hellboy comics pick up in the modern day.

A year after WWII ends, the Bureau is left trying to stamp out one of Hitlers last ditch efforts to turn the war around. Professor Trevor Bruttenholm, Hellboys guardian, is seen here as a younger man battling the forces of evil, and trying to prevent the Reich from amassing power yet again.

Theres so much to love about this book vampires, an evil Nazi head in a jar, sentient chimpanzees. The artwork is incredible. Mignola worked with a whole slew of illustrators all who brought a unique interpretation to the gothic style that fills out this world. Knowing a little about the Hellboy universe is helpful, but not necessary. If youre up for some Lovecraftian horror and Nazi punching, definitely pick this one up
