The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and their new team leader, a former corpse himself, moves into their new headquarters only to unearth a gigantic long-buried secret involving United States government covert experiments and Nazi scientists. Hellboy creator Mike Mignola teams with artist Guy Davis and co-writer John Arcudi to carve out a bold new direction for the B.P.R.D., while Abe Sapien, still reeling from the revelation of his former life as a Victorian scientist, meets his long-dead wife in their crumbling home by the sea. The strangest team book in comics gets weirder with this tale of the walking dead, madness, the Spear of Destiny, and a monstrous gateway to heaven. Collects B.P.R.D.: The Dead # 1-5, Hellboy Premiere Edition.

The skeletons in the closet

The Hellboy Mythos is deep and weird. The Nazis that never die entirely, a plague of some sorts is spreading in the usa and our heroes just have to accept a new leader. Abe Sapien is going after his past so he can imagine a future, but this isn't found without a great sadness and frustration.

I love this style of art so distinctable from Mignolas rocky and darky figures. The story is a fun mess and has a delightful confusion.
