Synopsis
Buster Oakley a young teen calls on Demons to come visit him and his friends. A bright flash engulfs them and they disappear in a flash. Hellboy swings by to check on things when a farmer complains about his missing cows. Wandering the farm, Hellboy is sucked into a giant spacecraft full of mutated livestock. After some poking and prodding by aliens, Hellboy starts swinging. He is joined by a cow standing on two legs in underpants. They fight the aliens, who eventually are worn down and release them in Nebraska.

Notes
- This story plays heavily on the stereotypical tropes about aliens including, flying saucers, gray aliens with large heads, aliens abducting people and, among other farm animals, cattle, gruesome experiments and off course anal probes.
- One alien in a pod appears to be from the same race as the Visitor.
