In 2001, Hellboy quit the B.P.R.D., leaving Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, and a bizarre roster of special agents to defend the world from any occult threats, and the growing menace of the frog army.
Mike Mignola and Dark Horse present the complete Plague of Frogs saga in four volumes, from Hollow Earth to King of Fear. This first book explores the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense after Hellboy's departure, cracks open the secrets of Abe Sapien's origin, and sets the war on frogs in motion.

About the Author

Mike Mignola was born September 16, 1960 in Berkeley, California and grew up in nearby Oakland. His fascination with ghosts and monsters began at an early age and reading Dracula at age 13 introduced him to Victorian literature and folklore from which he has never recovered. In 1993 Mike created Hellboy-- a half-demon occult detective who may or may not be the Beast of the Apocalypse. While the first story line, Seed of Destruction, was co-written by John Byrne, Mike has continued writing the series himself. There are numerous Hellboy graphic novel collections with more on the way, several spin-off titles (BPRD, Lobster Johnson, Abe Sapien and Witchfinder), three anthologies of prose stories, several novels, two animated films, and two live action films staring Ron Perlman. Hellboy has earned numerous comic industry awards and is published in a great many countries. The author lives in Los Angeles, CA..

you can buy 4 of these books for roughly the same price if you're smart about used copies or just get lucky

ByJosh Mathenyon April 6, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This collects three trades and is much cheaper in the long run if you plan on reading more.
Instead of buying 12 trades, you can buy 4 of these books for roughly the same price if you're smart about used copies or just get lucky.
You don't need to know MUCH about the universe of MIke Mignola to understand. Just know that Hellboy left the BPRD and now some of the men and creatures working for it are unsure about their future in the Government Organization.
They investigate monsters, creatures, and other stuff. Pretty standard stuff. You get to learn more about Lobster Johnson, Roger, and Abe Sapien which is PERFECT because they are all great characters.
It's a fine introduction to the Universe, too, and not bogged down too much in continuity but sort of creates it's own without relying too much on Hellboy.
Pick it up! Even if you've never read Mignola before this is a fine beginning place!

Excellent edition for the shaky start to a great series

ByM. Easton October 10, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I purchased this as an upgrade to my paperback collections, and I'm extremely impressed by the quality of the edition. It's an absolutely massive tome collecting everything B.P.R.D. from the first arc, Hollow Earth, through the titular of Plague of Frogs proper. If you are a fan of the series looking to upgrade your collection, this is an essential purchase. If you'd like it to more closely match up with the Hellboy Library Editions, you can remove the dust jacket for a similarly black cover. Be aware that these aren't any larger than the trades, though the quality is a significant step up.

So why not give a higher rating? The simple reason is that this is a mixed collection, and potential new fans need to hear that. There's the feeling that the contributors didn't really know what they were aiming for and didn't yet have the best idea for who could best depict the series. Early stories subtly seem to say, "Boy, I wish Hellboy were here," while the art varies wildly in style and quality. B.P.R.D. currently has a more varied stable of contributors than what you'll see throughout these hardcover collections, but it's clear that each one brings particular strengths to the series; here you get the artistic equivalent of trying on shirts to find the one that looks best.

Fortunately, this collection ends with Plague of Frogs, which is where the series found its feet. From that point on, in addition to consistent artwork, there's a commitment to long-form stories. If you are leery of comics because they can be so slight, Plague of Frogs will show you that B.P.R.D. is, in many ways, a string of serialized novels that offer both a quick pace and a substantial amount of content.

If you can accommodate your expectations and remember that the series only goes up from here, Plague of Frogs Volume 1 is a great purchase.If you are a newcomer, this is absolutely the best way to experience a fantastic series, and you should start from the beginning despite the teething problems.

This series is fantastic. I thought it wouldn't hold a candle to Hellboy, but I was wrong. I quickly fell in love with the characters and the story. This series did not need Hellboy to suceed.

Every bit as good as the main Hellboy book!

ByKel Bon February 18, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I've been a fan of Hellboy since the first movie introduced me to the character, and I quickly devoured all of the paperback releases which were available at the time. Although I continued to read subsequent Hellboy releases, and I was aware of the B.P.R.D. spinoff series, I mostly ignored the latter. If you have committed the same sin, or if you are completely new to the Mignolaverse, I urge you to pick up this book! The B.P.R.D. series is every bit as good as the book that spawned it, and with the big red guy out of the way, the supporting characters have room to grow and develop. This volume sees Liz going on a personal journey to gain control over both her powers and herself, as well as Abe learning why he has that "Innsmouth look". We also see the beginning of the frog war, and once you start reading that, I'm sure you'll want to pick up volume 2. It just gets better and better.

Simply Awesome!!!

ByJ. R. Mountson February 10, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I just received this B.P.R.D. Plague of Frogs volume 1 hardcover today and I am impressed. In reading them all previously, it was refreshing to reread them and have so many in a convenient and classy package. Mike Mignola's writing has a similar but different feel than his Hellboy volumes. It's very much an excellent compliment to the Hellbuy arc, similar in tone but different enough in a variety of ways that expand the world of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.. With a variety of visual talent, B.P.R.D. explores the endless possibilities and depth of the individual B.P.R.D. characters, mostly sidelined in previous Hellboy arcs. Here, old characters are expanded and new characters are introduced. I can't wait for the next volumes to continue in this trend. The stories get even better beyond the issues offered here. As the stories progress, the mythology gets even tighter and more rewarding emotionally as each story deepens a rich plot and gives each character, new and old, excellent development. The stories are fun and unpredictable. Above all, this series really allows Guy Davis to shine. For those of you who have not yet read passed this volume, just wait. It gets even better.
