The Hellboy Universe is the fictional universe of the Hellboy comic and its various spinoffs, created by Mike Mignola. Its first appearance was in a black-and-white, four-page promotional comic by Mike Mignola with a script by John Byrne published by Dark Horse Comics in San Diego Comic-Con Comics #2 (August 19, 1993), distributed at the San Diego Comic-Con. The Hellboy Universe currently spans over eighty trade paperbacks. It is also sometimes informally called the "Mignolaverse".
The series, focused on the titular Hellboy, spawned the Hellboy Universe. There are generally two types of Hellboy stories; Pre-Cavendish (stories set chronologically before the first miniseries ) and Post-Cavendish (stories set chronologically after the first miniseries). Post-Cavendish stories are usually very continuity heavy, and require the reader to be relatively familiar with Hellboy's history. Pre-Cavendish stories tend to be primarily short, stand-alone stories.
In addition to the comics, the Hellboy novels written by author Christopher Golden are also considered in-continuity.[1]
In addition to the standard trade paperbacks, Hellboy stories are collected in oversized hardcovers known as library editions, and paperback omnibuses.

Unlike previous Hellboy stories, Hellboy in Hell was an ongoing series. It was not a monthly series, but rather a new issue came out when it was finished. When there was an arc spanning multiple issues, each of those issues came out monthly.[2]

B.P.R.D. (Bureau for Paranormal Research and Defense) began as an experiment to see if the Hellboy Universe could be expanded with stories without Hellboy in them.[6] It started with an untitled three-page promotional piece before launching into the three-issue miniseries Hollow Earth. As the series grew, it was split into "story cycles." There are three major cycles: Plague of Frogs, Hell on Earth, and The Devil You Know, as well as two minor cycles 1946–1948 and Vampire. The trade B.P.R.D.: Being Human is the only remaining book from the original series that is not a part of any existing story cycle.
The short story Casualties was collected in the Abe Sapien omnibuses.

The Plague of Frogs cycle was published from 2002 to 2010, though it was not known as such at the time. When it came time to collect the stories into omnibus editions, the material collected in trades 1–8, 10–12, and 14 was retroactively retitled B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs. Guy Davis was the primary artist on the series and John Arcudi joined Mike Mignola as co-writer with the miniseries The Dead in 2004. Plague of Frogs is collected in the four volumes of the B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs Omnibus Editions (three trades in each volume).

B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth is a direct continuation of the B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs cycle dealing with the apocalyptic events in the wake of the Frog War. For the one hundredth issue, it officially shifted from a series of miniseries to a monthly ongoing series. John Arcudi is the lead writer with Mike Mignola. Unlike the previous cycle, which was visually defined by mostly a single artist, Hell on Earth had many artists on the title.

The 1946–1948 cycle deals with the early years of the B.P.R.D. The cycle was originally planned to go for longer, on into the 1950s,[7] but it was cut short because Mike Mignola felt he had too many books going on.[8] Joshua Dysart was the lead writer for this series, although the final miniseries was written by John Arcudi to connect with what he was doing in B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth. In addition to 1946, 1947 and 1948, the series also includes the short stories Bishop Olek’s Devil and And What Shall I Find There?
The trades B.P.R.D.: 1946 and B.P.R.D.: 1947 were originally volumes 9 and 13 of the original B.P.R.D. numbering before the B.P.R.D.: Plague of Frogs omnibuses were devised. Reprints of these volumes did not have numbers on their spines after the release of the Plague of Frogs omnibuses.

This was discreetly introduced as a new cycle of B.P.R.D. when the trade come out with a number 1 on its spine and "B.P.R.D.: Vampire" written in the series box (instead of just the usual "B.P.R.D."). Picking up after B.P.R.D.: 1948, Vampire follows the story of B.P.R.D. Agent Simon Anders as he hunts vampires. The cycle is written and drawn by twins Gabriel Bá and Fábio Moon with Mike Mignola. Mike Mignola has said the twins have the freedom to write and draw more stories with this character if they wish.[9]
