Hellboy[]
- see also: List of Hellboy stories
The first title, Hellboy, originally followed Hellboy's career as a part of the B.P.R.D., then later Hellboy went solo following the events of Conqueror Worm. The stories increasingly focused on mythological themes and Hellboy's destiny within the supernatural world.
Hellboy in Hell was a departure for the Hellboy comics in that it was not a miniseries or one-shot, but rather an ongoing comic with irregular release dates starting its numbering at #1. It has its own trade paperback line much like B.P.R.D. Hell on Earth does.
Abe Sapien[]
- see also: List of Abe Sapien stories
This series follows Abe Sapien's solo adventures. The earliest Abe Sapien stories have been collected in the first volume of the B.P.R.D. trades.
Beginning with The Drowning, the series was released in its own line of trade paperbacks. Volumes 3 to 8 cover the Dark and Terrible cycle.
Lobster Johnson[]

B.P.R.D[]
- see also: List of B.P.R.D. stories
Following Hellboy's departure from the Bureau at the end of Conqueror Worm, B.P.R.D. was spun-off into its own line of comics. B.P.R.D. continued to follow the adventures of established characters like Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman, Roger and Kate Corrigan, but has also introduced new characters like Johann Kraus, Ben Daimio and Panya, and even delves into the B.P.R.D.'s past. The series is largely divided into three cycles: Plague of Frogs, Hell on Earth, and The Devil You Know.
Sir Edward Grey, Witchfinder[]

Witchfinder depicts the adventures of occult detective and agent for Queen Victoria, Sir Edward Grey.
