B.P.R.D.: Vampire #1 – 2013 launches a visually haunting and emotionally intense five-part mini-series that stands apart within the Hellboy Universe. Written by Mike Mignola, Fábio Moon, and Gabriel Bá, this debut issue shifts the spotlight onto Simon Anders, a B.P.R.D. agent grappling with the dark, parasitic legacy of the vampire spirits he encountered in B.P.R.D.: 1948.
Here, Anders embarks on a harrowing, personal mission across Eastern Europe to hunt the remaining vampire covens. His pursuit is as much about vengeance and identity as it is about duty. What follows is a gothic, atmospheric tale that delves deep into folklore-inspired horror and existential dread, capturing a side of the Hellboy mythos that’s more introspective and poetic than explosive.
What truly sets this issue apart is the artwork. Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá deliver a masterclass in sequential storytelling. Their distinct style blends elegance and unease, with sweeping shadows, sharp contrasts, and minimalist layouts that enhance the dreamlike quality of the narrative. Every panel feels deliberate, echoing the loneliness and tragedy of Anders’ quest.
The story's restrained dialogue and heavy visual emphasis make this a standout for fans of art-driven storytelling. It’s a perfect entry point for those new to the character of Simon Anders, while longtime readers will appreciate how it deepens the emotional and supernatural layers of the B.P.R.D. universe.
