The Hellboy Universe Comics

`The Mike Mignola's Hellboy series was first introduced, along with Hellboy himself, in San Diego Comic Con Comics #2, published August 1993. As the series has progressed, it has grown to include numerous spin-offs all sharing continuity within the Hellboy Universe.

Hellboy

see also: List of Hellboy stories

The first title, Hellboy, originally followed Hellboy's career as a part of the B.P.R.D., then later Hellboy went solo following the events of Conqueror Worm. The stories increasingly focused on mythological themes and Hellboy's destiny within the supernatural world.

Hellboy in Hell was a departure for the Hellboy comics in that it was not a miniseries or one-shot, but rather an ongoing comic with irregular release dates starting its numbering at #1. It has its own trade paperback line much like B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth does.

Abe Sapien

see also: List of Abe Sapien stories

This series follows Abe Sapien's solo adventures. The earliest Abe Sapien stories have been collected in the first volume of the B.P.R.D. trades.

Beginning with The Drowning, the series was released in its own line of trade paperbacks. Volumes 3 to 8 cover the Dark and Terrible cycle.

Lobster Johnson

Lobster Johnson focuses the pulp adventures of "The Lobster" and his crew as they fight against mad scientists, Nazis and supernatural foes.

B.P.R.D

see also: List of B.P.R.D. stories

Following Hellboy's departure from the Bureau at the end of Conqueror Worm, B.P.R.D. was spun-off into its own line of comics. B.P.R.D. continued to follow the adventures of established characters like Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, Roger and Kate Corrigan, but has also introduced new characters like Johann Kraus, Ben Daimio and Panya, and even delves into the B.P.R.D.'s past. The series is largely divided into three cycles: Plague of Frogs, Hell on Earth, and The Devil You Know.

Sir Edward Grey: Witchfinder

Witchfinder depicts the adventures of occult detective and agent for Queen Victoria, Sir Edward Grey.

Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.

see also: List of Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. stories

Kicking off in 1952, this series follows Hellboy's career at the B.P.R.D. chronologically.

Frankenstein

This series began with the Frankenstein Underground miniseries, with the Frankenstein Monster as he appeared in Hellboy: House of the Living Dead as he journeyed into the Hollow Earth in the 1950s. The miniseries canonizes Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.

One-shot miniseries

Rather than being fully fledged series, these titles are limited to a single trade.

Sledgehammer 44

see also: List of Sledgehammer 44 stories

Beginning in 1944, Sledgehammer 44 follows the story of the second Vril Energy Suit, Epimetheus, and its various pilots. This was originally intended to span multiple trades (as evidenced by the "1" on the book's spine), but as the story developed, it worked better as a single book and flashback elements in the B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth series.

Rise of the Black Flame

Set in May, 1923, Rise of the Black Flame shows how the first Black Flame came to be. It also introduces Sarah Jewell, a member of The Silver Lantern Club and friend of Sir Edward Grey.

The Visitor: How & Why He Stayed

This five-issue miniseries explores the story of the alien Hellboy met in Conqueror Worm from 1944 to 2001.

Rasputin: The Voice of the Dragon

Focused on Trevor Bruttenholm and Rasputin during World War II, this five-issue miniseries takes a closer look at "The Master." Mike Mignola and Chris Roberson have discussed the possibility that this may be the first in a series, but it was designed as a one-shot miniseries.

Koshchei the Deathless

Koshchei finds Hellboy in Hell, and tells him his tale in this six-issue miniseries. Ben Stenbeck has said this was originally a trilogy that became a single book. He also hinted that additional books may appear in the Koshchei series, but there are none currently planned.

Crimson Lotus

Agents Dai Jieh, Shengli, and Baolu are pursued by the Crimson Lotus in 1930s China.
