B.P.R.D.: Hollow Earth & Other Stories is the first trade paperback collection in the B.P.R.D. series.
This was the first B.P.R.D. mini-series. Three issues long, it was written by Mike Mignola, Christopher Golden and Tom Sniegoski with art by Ryan Sook and Curtis Arnold. It was published from January to June 2002.
Hellboy novelist Golden and his long-time writing partner Sniegoski wrote the story with regular input from Mignola. Sook was chosen to draw the book following a meeting with Mignola at a convention in Oakland, CA in 1995 and saw it as a chance to have a book all to himself although Arnold joined as inker when schedules started running tight halfway through production.
The story features Dr. Kate Corrigan, Abe Sapien, Roger the Homunculus, and new-comer Johann Kraus on a mission to rescue Liz Sherman. Hellboy also makes appearances via flashbacks.
A newspaper-format promotional teaser for the series titled B.P.R.D.. It was published as three single-page installments in Dark Horse Extra from December 2001 to February 2002, featuring the first appearance of Johann Kraus.
Originally published as a back-up feature in Hellboy: Box Full of Evil #1 (September 1999).Lobster Johnson made his first appearance in this written by Mike Mignola, with pencils by Matthew Dow Smith and inks by Ryan Sook (in his first contribution to the series).
