I'd gotten so use to Mignola's art for these characters I wasn't sure I'd be open to other artist's interpretation. But for the most part I didn't find it too jarring. Like the art, some stories in here were better than others. Hollow Earth was what earned this book it's stars, although I'm hoping we get more from Liz Sherman soon, other than brooding angst and comatose near death experiences. I wasn't a fan of Lobster Johnson's story The Killer in My Skull which I found cheesy as hell. Of all the Hellboy characters that go on to have a spin off series, Lobster Johnson is the one I'm least enthused about. Abe Sapien versus Science gave us some nice character moments, but felt like a rehash of what had come before, and Abe Sapien: Drums of the Dead was a nice little story, although it didn't really add anything of substance to the world.
Team adventures with the quirky group of paranormal investigators make for a different approach than the Hellboy-focused stories, but they’re just as involving. È contenuto inContienePremi e riconoscimenti
The Hollow Earth, by Mike Mignola, Chris Golden, Tom Sniegoski, and Ryan Sook, reveals the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense's struggle to save agent Liz Sherman, and their struggle to deal with life without Hellboy. That story is collected here with rare Hellboy related stories, long sought after by fans of the Mignola's hit comic. Reprinted here for the first time are the first solo Abe Sapien comic, Drums of the Dead, by Brian McDonald and Derek Thompson, as well as the short stories "Abe Sapien versus Science" and "Lobster Johnson: Killer Inside My Skull." If these names mean nothing to you, you've been missing out on the greatest adventure saga comics has to offer. If you do know these names, then this is the collection you've been asking for.

First (and largest) story is Hollow Earth - saving Liz from King of Fear that dwells in the pits of the earth seems to be a thing to keep BPRD team together. In this story we follow Abe Sapien and Roger together with Johann (new team member) as they enter the mysterious monastery (gateway to Agartha?) and finally go into the earth to save their comrade Liz.
Everything that transpires around them is only explained to the reader but team remains in dark - I liked that way of story telling a lot.
Other stories are single chapter stories but nevertheless also very good (I enjoyed one where BPRD tries to "sell" Abe instead of Hellboy (already left the team) to the client that needs help with weird occurrences on their transport ships - that conversation was hilarious).
Art is excellent, every artist left his own mark so to say but nevertheless collection was very balanced art-wise.
Recommended to all Hellboy-universe fans out there. ( )
