☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first omnibus of the B.P.R.D. series collects the early story arcs that follow the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense after Hellboy's departure. Featuring key members like Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Johann Kraus, these tales delve into the agency's fight against occult threats and the emergence of the frog-like creatures that would define their new era. Written by Mike Mignola and others, it compiles material from the initial B.P.R.D. miniseries and one-shots, establishing the team's post-Hellboy dynamic.
"Hollow Earth Chapter One" kicks off the B.P.R.D. Omnibus #1 with a chilling mystery: children vanish from their beds under impossible circumstances, drawing the BPRD into a case that blurs the line between nightmare and reality. Written by Joe Harris and illustrated by Adam Pollina, with inks by Guillermo Zubiaga and colors by Lee Loughridge, the story unfolds through the eerie, atmospheric lens of Mike Mignola’s iconic cover art, as the team confronts a threat that turns childhood imagination into something far more dangerous.
In "Hollow Earth Chapter One," Abe Sapien is haunted by a desperate vision of Liz Sherman, prompting the BPRD to dispatch a team led by new recruit Johann Kraus to a remote arctic monastery—where the last traces of her presence were detected. As the mission unfolds, the isolation and silence of the frozen landscape begin to feel less like solitude and more like something watching.
In a haunting flashback, young Liz finds an unlikely ally in Hellboy as they navigate the eerie edges of a world she barely understands. In the present, Abe, Roger, and Johann battle ancient Hyperborean horrors in a desperate race to reunite Liz’s spark with her body.
In "Drums of the Dead," Abe Sapien and psychic Garrett Omatta are dispatched by the B.P.R.D. to investigate a series of mysterious shark attacks and reports of possession aboard a ship retracing a forgotten slave-trade route. As the crew’s paranoia grows and the sea itself seems to pulse with ancient dread, the two men must navigate a haunting mystery rooted in the ocean’s buried past.
In "There's Something Under My Bed," the BPRD investigates a string of children vanishing from their bedrooms, leaving behind only chilling silence. As the line between childhood imagination and waking dread blurs, the kids find uneasy solace in the unlikely presence of Abe Sapien and the ghostly Johann Kraus—two figures who, in their own ways, know what it means to be feared.
