B.P.R.D., Plague of Frogs #1

The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense assembles for something deeply unsettling in this 2004 Dark Horse opener — the cover by Guy Davis presents the team gathered around a prone red-clad figure, while a massive, blank-faced creature looms overhead with arms raised against a smoky orange sky, and the lower portion hints at something reptilian lurking in the shadows below. Davis's linework gives the scene a moody, atmospheric weight that feels equal parts horror and pulp adventure. Mike Mignola and Guy Davis make a compelling creative pairing for "Plague of Frogs, Part I," and this first issue promises the Bureau has something genuinely amphibious and threatening on its hands.
