The Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense faces its worst tragedy ever as the war against the plague of frogs reaches a devastating new level. Heralded by a bizarre villain from the B.P.R.D.'s past, an ancient monster-god marches across the American heartland portending an end to the reign of men, and leaving a permanent mark on the Bureau.

Hellboy-creator Mike Mignola continues his collaboration with artist Guy Davis and co-writer John Arcudi to unravel a tale that will leave the earth shaken, the B.P.R.D. shattered, and major member of the team lying dead. This collection includes a sketchbook section chronicling Guy Davis's creation of the abominations unleashed in The Black Flame.

B.P.R.D.-The Black Flame features story by Mike Mignola and John Arcudi, with art by Mike Mignola and Guy Davis. It arrives on sale July 12 with a retail price of $17.95.
