B.P.R.D vol. 9: 1946

The latest B.P.R.D addition to the Hellboy ongoing story is an old one, from the very beginning of the Bureau. Two years after its foundation, Professor Trevor Bruttenholn, the step-father of Hellboy starts a fight against the work of the Nazi’s Bureau, when they tried to create an army of super vampires.

And the project was so uncontrollable that even Hitler discarded it. But their own Vlad Tempest (well it is another count, but its resemblances are noticeable) didn’t like the resolution and maintained the project as something personal.

So, after the end of the WWII, the problem is still out there. And Bruttenholn fights this almost imposible fight. And it is quite a ride.

This volume is very different from the Abe Sapiens story. It is really something new to add and something very important. I really enjoyed this book.

Two new creators were in the Hellboy creative teams. New co-writer (Josh Dysart) and new artist (Paul Azaceta). The first is a writer that had a great idea and Mignola let him develop it. Azaceta, is a great penciler but I miss Guy Davis. No hard feelings here.

Creo que Hellboy es uno de los personajes más extraordinarios del comic desde la era Marvel. No me refiero a la calidad del comic y de sus historias, que lo tienen en abundancia, si no en ese retrato del personaje que participa de la imagenería de la novela negra, a lo Philiph Marlowe, pero acentuando aún más su faceta humorística y descreída.

Y además las tramas fluyen como la seda, las referencias literarias e históricas no quedan pretenciosas, sino como simpáticos guiños (bueno, eso de "Vlad Tempest", en vez de "Tepes" es casi una coña) la mitología que crea es coherente y verosímil (pese a lo delirante) y el trazo de Mignola (cuando tenemos la suerte de que sea él quien se ocupe) es una maravilla: está, sin duda, en el panteón de los grandes del blanco y negro, junto a Milton Caniff y Franquin.

Hellboy es posiblemente el cómic americano que más me gusta de los que se hacen actualmente. Por eso le dedico una entrada cada vez que veo algo nuevo.

Me alegra que os haya gustado.
