Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.: Ghost Ships #1 sails into a town haunted by the dead

A remote settlement swarmed by restless spirits becomes the backdrop for Hellboy’s newest solo outing. When a fellow B.P.R.D. operative vanishes amid the chaos, the trench‑coat hero must confront both the ghosts and his own doubts in this two‑part debut.

This month’s Special Delivery shines on a fresh chapter of the Hellboy universe. "Ghost Ships" delivers a self‑contained, two‑issue story that drops Hellboy into a coastal town where the dead refuse to stay buried. It’s a perfect entry point for newcomers and a thrilling detour for longtime fans.

The town is drowning in spectral activity, and the situation escalates when a B.P.R.D. teammate disappears into the otherworldly turmoil. Hellboy is forced to juggle the supernatural onslaught while tracking his missing colleague, turning a typical haunt into a race against time and terror.

What makes this issue a must‑grab is the pedigree behind it. Legendary creator Mike Mignola pens the script, while the visual tone is set by Laurence Campbell, who also handled the cover. Rob Williams returns to the B.P.R.D. fold, ensuring the dialogue feels both grounded and uncanny. Campbell’s clean, moody art gives the ghostly menace a fresh, cinematic edge that stands out even in a crowded market.

If the haunted‑town vibe intrigues you, consider slipping back to the very beginning of Hellboy’s mythos. The inaugural Hellboy #1, also by Mignola, offers a taste of the same dark folklore and larger‑than‑life monsters that make this new story resonate.

Pick up the first issue, settle in, and let the spectral tides pull you deeper into the B.P.R.D. world. The ghosts are waiting.
