Hellboy, Professor Bruttenholm, and B.P.R.D. agent Archie Muraro investigate an abandoned sawmill that is rumored to be haunted. But when they get there, an unexpected discovery reveals an even stranger source for the rumors! Hellboy creator Mike Mignola and longtime collaborator Chris Roberson team up with artist Mike Norton and colorist Dave Stewart for a new story of strange doings.
Where Hellboy and the B.P.R.D. 1957: From Below shines is in its ability to give newly arriving and longtime fans of the Mignolaverse a B.P.R.D. story that is equally something they love, while being something totally unexpected and fun at the same time.
