Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1955-1957

Set in the mid-1950s, this Dark Horse series bridges the gap between Hellboy's early adventures with the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense and his later, more iconic cases. Written by Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson, with art by artists like Paolo Rivera and Stephen Green, the 2024-present run collects one-shots and short arcs that deepen the Bureau's Cold War-era mythology. It matters as a focused, character-driven expansion of Mignola's universe, showing a younger, less world-weary Hellboy navigating supernatural threats alongside a tight-knit team.
