Notes
- ↑ Abe Sapien co-stars (he appears in both issues, but his identity is not revealed until the second); Hellboy cameos at the end of the second issue. Notably, Abe and Hellboy work for the Bureau of Paranormal Investigation and Defense (B.P.I.D.) rather than the Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense
