When Ricardo Delgado--a prolific development and storyboard artist who has worked on such hit films asMen in Black, The Incredibles, WALL-E, X--Men Origins: Wolverine, and the Matrix series--first set his sights on creating comics, he crafted an epic tale about the most unlikely cast of characters: dinosaurs. Since that first foray into the world of sequential art--which earned him an Eisner win for Talent Deserving of Wider Recognition--he has returned to his critically acclaimed Age of Reptiles again and again, each time crafting a captivating saga about his saurian subjects.

* This volume collects the long--out--of--print Age of Reptiles and Age of Reptiles: The Hunt, and the never--before--collected third series, Age of Reptiles: The Journey.

"Delgado once more proves that the age of great illustration is alive and well."
--John Landis, Filmmaker, An American Werewolf in London, Michael Jackson's Thriller

B.P.R.D. - Plague of Frogs - Hardcover Collection

Before the BPRD: Plague of Frogs Hardcover Collection hits stores next month, check out this helpful post by Dark Horse Publicity Coordinator Jim Gibbons on what you can expect from this handsome hardcover omnibus.

As a once national and now worldwide agency armed to combat unnatural evil at every turn, the men and women of the B.P.R.D. (The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense, 'natch!) are more aware than most that a crucial equipment improvement can mean the difference between life and death in an encounter with a ferocious frog or other creepy creatures. Thankfully, as readers, many of you B.P.R.D. diehards don't have to personally confront the horrible hordes waiting just below Earth's surface, but that doesn't mean you're not due for and appreciative of a good upgrade!

Previously only available in slim yet slick trade paperback form, Mike Mignola, John Arcudi and Guy Davis' B.P.R.D. epic is armoring up with a massive hardcover treatment—a tome of Bureau tales like no other! This beautiful 408-page behemoth is chock-full of early B.P.R.D. stories by Mignola, as well as Christopher Golden, Geoff Johns, Tom Sniegoski, Michael Avon Oeming and more with art from Ryan Sook, Cameron Stewart, Scott Kolins, Oeming and Guy Davis. Quite simply, it's exactly the upgrade your bookshelf needs if you already have a B.P.R.D. section and the perfect place to start catching up on this exceptional series if you haven't yet delved into the mystifying and monstrous menace known as the Plague of Frogs.

All that aside, here's the real kicker, folks… this upgrade to the B.P.R.D. library is a permanent one. No longer will the occult investigations of B.P.R.D. Vol. 1: Hollow Earth and Other Stories, B.P.R.D. Vol. 2: The Soul of Venice and Other Stories and B.P.R.D. Vol. 3: A Plague of Frogs be available in floppy format. The entire Plague of Frogs saga is making the move to sturdy, solid and stylish hardcover for good. As the B.P.R.D. move into a new era with B.P.R.D. Hell On Earth so to do their former collections move into a new era of publication where paperbacks have evolved into sleek and (Dare I say?) sexy hardcovers. Time marches on and, thankfully, the B.P.R.D. only gets stronger with age! Hardcover, folks… it's the new generation of B.P.R.D. collection you and your bookshelf need in this brave new world.

--Jim Gibbons
