Description

B.P.R.D. was a series I connected with from the very beginning of my comic-reading life. It aligned perfectly with my tastes�so much so that it felt like a world I could inhabit. The series blended elements I deeply respond to: eerie, atmospheric mysteries; vast Lovecraftian cosmic threats; striking grotesque creature design; and visceral, military-driven action. Few series balance these components as effectively as B.P.R.D.

Among its many story arcs, Killing Ground stands as my favorite. It functions as a tightly constructed, claustrophobic creature-feature, evoking the tension and dread of films like Alien and The Thing. Beneath its brutal man-versus-monster framework, the story delivers the culmination of long-running mysteries, with payoffs that resonate both within the arc itself and in subsequent narratives. Stories like this firmly established B.P.R.D. as equal to�if not surpassing�the core Hellboy series in scope and execution.

Guy Davis�s artwork is a major reason for that impact. He is one of my favorite artists to have worked in comics, bringing a distinctive cartoonist sensibility paired with exceptional creature design. His work strikes a rare balance between stylization and menace. As a collector, I typically seek a single representative piece from artists I admire, rarely pursuing multiple works from the same creator or series. B.P.R.D.�and Guy Davis in particular�is a rare exception, which speaks to the lasting influence the series has had on me. While I miss his presence in comics, it�s been gratifying to see his talents continue to thrive in film, where his design work remains just as compelling.

This cover for B.P.R.D.: Killing Ground features the fan-favorite character Daryl the Wendigo, depicted stalking the claustrophobic corridors of B.P.R.D. headquarters as he looms ominously behind Captain Ben Daimio.
