Hi guys, Hellboy is not an easy comic to put into a reading order, there is a (1)chronological order, an (2)original publishing order, and more recently the (3)trade paper back order and also the (4)library edition order, as well as BPRD Trades and Weird Tales Trades and guest appearances in other titles. That means their are over (4) reading order variations out there that are all correct in their own way. My point is however that their is no perfect reading order, and so therefore i placed the comics into what i feel is a GOOD READING ORDER. It is the one i recommend to friends of mine just getting into Hellboy, and it is my current reading order of choice. it avoids spoilers and keeps the story flowing. It is a MIXTURE of publishing order and chronological order. The following are some details on this particular reading order. It starts off with the Publishing order from "01 - Seed of Destruction" through "04 - Almost Collossus". This lets you see how the character and world first started in the earlyer stories. Then i have a folder called "05 - THE MIDDLE YEARS" here the stories are in chronological order. So even though for example, "1938 BPRD - And what shall i find there" was published in 2009, because it has no spoilers in it for any future stories, i find it fits better in a collection of short stories to be read chronologically. Only 2 "long" stories are in this folder ... BPRD 1946 and Hellboy The Crooked Man. The rest of the stuff that comes after "The Middle Years" i placed mostly in publishing order, but i moved some stuff around just a little bit so that each mini series flows better into the next. For example after BPRD Garden of Souls i placed Hellboy Darkness Calls because there is a break in the BPRD narrative between Garden and Killing Ground. Also between Killing Ground and The Warning because there is another break in the BPRD narrative i slipped in the Lobster Johnson and Abe Sapien stories.

This list doesn't include any cross-overs, guest appearances or any Hellboy Jr comics (basically anything that's not canon).
