B.P.R.D., Vol. 3: Plague of Frogs
by Mike Mignola, Guy Davis
The B.P.R.D. are put on a weird murder case after a research doctor is murdered by a seemingly deranged professor. The object of the doctor’s study are the eggs found in Cavendish Hall (from the first volume of Hellboy) which have grown into a bizarre sporous growth. Coming into contact with it is now turning people into giant humanoid frogs.
Amidst this, Abraham Sapien is having odd dreams. Dreams where he’s being beckoned by bells...
Ooouuu, it’s fun seeing the series getting a larger over-arching story.
As always, Mike Mignola’s storytelling is top-notch -- the perfect blend of fantasy, horror, and folklore. It’s fun seeing threads from earlier stories coming into play here, though, to be honest, a lot of this went over my head as I’ve been reading the volumes of this and Hellboy pretty far apart. However, the story still held up really well for me despite this.
I liked Guy Davis’ art. I read in another review that it looks like illustrations from a Victorian novel and I completely agree. There’s something slightly uncanny about his style that makes it a good fit for this creepy tale.
I’m really looking forward to seeing where the series goes from here.
