Hellboy: Weird Tales #1

Hellboy strides front and center on John Cassaday's cover, his oversized stone fist and trench coat announcing trouble in the best possible way, while the full B.P.R.D. crew fans out behind him — a goggled agent with pistol, the green-skinned Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and a flame-wielding figure rounding out the group. This first issue of Hellboy: Weird Tales brings together an impressive roster of talent, including writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Stefano Raffaele, for a 2003 anthology series that lets the wider Hellboy universe breathe and stretch. If you've ever wanted more paranormal action from Dark Horse's beloved corner of the supernatural, this is a fine place to start.
