B.P.R.D.

From 2004 to 2013, Delcourt published this 11-issue series expanding the universe of the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense, a clandestine organization battling supernatural threats. A key branch of Mike Mignola's Hellboy mythos, the series is most associated with writer John Arcudi and artist Guy Davis, whose gritty, detailed work defined the bureau's monster-hunting operations. It matters as a foundational, long-running spin-off that deepened the lore of Mignola's world, focusing on a team of agents—including Abe Sapien and Liz Sherman—facing apocalyptic horrors without their former leader.
