Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: 1954 by Mike Mignola, Chris Roberson
4.0
Unlike 1956 issue which was rather slim and not that interesting (story of Hellboy in Mexico was told so many times) this volume gives us new adventures more in vein with X-Files and Indiana Jones adventures.
We follow Hellboy as BPRD special agent on missions across the world. First story takes place in the deserted parts of Arctic after mysterious creature starts killing people off in remote science station. What they come across is completely unexpected and Hellboy will need to use all of his wits to overcome his old enemies.
Second story looks like adventure that came off Edgar Alan Poe's pages. This was most X-File-like story in the volume. To say more is to spoil it so will leave it at that.
Final story is Ghost Moon. This brings in British occult investigation agency and search for a mysterious urn that has devastating effect on the population around it. This one has some of that Indiana Jones vibe to it.
All in all interesting volume. Art is great as it is case with all Hellboy comics so far.
Recommended to fans of paranormal and Hellboy in particular.
