☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection launches the Hellboy saga, introducing the world to the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense's most formidable agent. Written by John Byrne and illustrated by Mike Mignola, the story follows Hellboy's investigation into a series of bizarre events connected to the resurrected Grigori Rasputin and a plot to unleash the Ogdru Hem, the seven gods of chaos. The volume also establishes key supporting characters like Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and Professor Trevor Bruttenholm.
In "Seed of Destruction Chapter One," Hellboy confronts a grotesque frog-like creature while Liz's energy is siphoned by Rasputin to awaken the ancient Sadu-Hem. Far away, an alien race watches in disbelief as the tombs of the Seven Beasts are breached. With Abe guided by the lingering spirit of Elihu Cavendish and Rasputin overwhelmed by the surge of power, Hellboy must stand alone against the wizard in a final, desperate clash. Written by Mike Mignola and John Byrne, with art by Mignola and colors by Mark Chiarello, this pivotal first chapter of a landmark arc features a cover by Mike Mignola.

Liz's energy is drained by Rasputin to channel through Sadu-Hem and free the Ogdru-Jahad as Hellboy battles the frog creature's numbing hold. An untold distance away, the assault on the Seven Beasts' tombs is being incredulously monitored by an alien race. While Abe, spurred on by the spirit of Elihu Cavendish, mortally wounds Rasputin and Liz's power proves too much for him to contain, it falls to Hellboy to face the wizard in final battle.
