About this Collection

This 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.
