In 2001, Hellboy quit the B.P.R.D., leaving Abe Sapien to lead Liz Sherman and a bizarre roster of special agents, defending the world from occult threats, including the growing menace of the frog army, first spotted in Hellboy: Seed of Destruction. Mike Mignola and Dark Horse present the complete Plague of Frogs saga, from Hollow Earth to The King of Fear. This second volume dives deeper into Abe's origin story, introduces the reader to Bureau villains Memnan Saa and The Black Flame, and features the first appearance of fan-favorite Daimio! Hellboy creator Mike Mignola teams up with co-writer John Arcudi (A God Somewhere) for occult adventure drawn by series regular Guy Davis (Sandman Mystery Theatre), with guest artists John Severin (Two-Fisted Tales), Karl Moline (Joss Whedon's Fray), Peter Snejbjerg (Starman), and Herb Trimpe (The Incredible Hulk).

Excellent comics at excellent value
Sep 17 2011
By Gareth Simon
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The stories here are collected from 2005-2009, and amount to 430 pages of comics, plus sketches and miscellaneous art work. This volume reprints the BPRD stories `The Dead' #1-5; `War on Frogs' #1-4; `The Black Flame' #1-6; along with `Born Again' and `Revival'. The stories and artwork are excellent. This volume, and the associated Hellboy Library collections, offer the `original' paperback collections at a cheaper rate than the originals, in an excellent hardbound format, along with extra material. This is excellent comics at an excellent value.
A spin-off from the Hellboy comics series, the B.P.R.D. was given its own series after the events of `The Conqueror Worm' - see Hellboy Library Edition Volume 3: Conqueror Worm And Strange Places (Hellboy Library Edition (Dark Horse)) - when Hellboy resigned from the organisation to go off exploring into the darker corners of their universe. Volume 1 of this series is also available - B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs Hardcover Collection Volume 1

Some of the Best Comics...Period.

I purchased the first volume of the new B.P.R.D. collections when it was initially released and it did not disappoint. Having been a long time Mike Mignola fan, I had never dipped my toes into the ongoing B.P.R.D. book. I waited with great enthusiasm for the second volume and once again I am not disappointed. We have a glorious hardback edition that showcases one of my favourite artists wonderful line work, Mr Guy Davis. You could buy this book for his work alone, but John Arcudi and colourist Dave Stewart pull the package together. If you are a fan of horror or supernatural stories, please buy this wonderful book. You will not be disappointed.

An Excellent Story and Value

I recently received a $50 gift card and went looking for something to purchase. I ended up picking up BPRD volumes 1-2. These were an outstanding value! Priced well, and an excellent story and art.
These books follow the rest of the BPRD. Johann, Liz, Abe, and the rest are still saving the day even without Hellboy. And it is outstanding.
