“Wake the Devil [Chapter One]”

In "Wake the Devil [Chapter One]," Mike Mignola's signature blend of gothic dread and mythic intrigue kicks into high gear as the BPRD investigates the mysterious disappearance of vampire Vladimir Giurescu’s body from a New York museum. With Hellboy and a team of agents dispatched to Romania, the hunt begins for Castle Giurescu—where an ancient evil may be stirring, and the echoes of a forgotten war are just waking up. The story unfolds with Mignola’s distinctive art and storytelling, from the first page to the final panel, with cover art by Mignola himself capturing the weight of the coming storm.

The base of the recently revived Nazi scientists Kroenen, Haupstein, and Von Krupt in Norway is broached by Roderick Zinco, who tells them of a visitation by Rasputin and pledges the resources of the Zinco Corporation to the renewal of Project Ragna Rok. One year later, a briefing at BPRD headquarters in Fairfield recaps the history of suspected vampire Vladimir Giurescu, his ties to Project Ragna Rok, and the possible abduction of his body from a museum in New York City. Hellboy and five other agents are sent to Romania to locate Castle Giurescu before his body can be reanimated.
