B.P.R.D. #9

Spinning out of the world of Hellboy, *B.P.R.D. 1946* brings Mike Mignola and Joshua Dysart's postwar supernatural thriller to life with art by Paul Azaceta. Mignola's own cover sets an arresting tone: a grim-faced man in a suit dominates the foreground, flanked by a helmeted soldier and a snarling creature with glowing eyes, while a massive winged red demon looms overhead — all framed against a Nazi swastika banner, a Soviet hammer-and-sickle, and a skull, conjuring the dangerous ideological crossroads of 1946. It's a striking visual promise that the B.P.R.D.'s Cold War–era origins are every bit as dark and compelling as the organization's present-day adventures.
