Fast-paced, fun Nazi-occultist expedition with a young Professor Bruttenholm.
I haven't read Hellboy but I do enjoy Mike Mignola's work. This one is about Rasputin helping the Nazis with their occult mania, and a British Occult Intelligence operative who is out to stop them.
Above-average fantasy, with excellent art. It's not typically my kind of thing, but I like it.

Story takes us to the very beginnings when Nazis search for Rasputin finally comes to an end. Rasputin decides to help the Nazis and assist them in the event that will eventually end up with the Hellboy materializing on Earth as harbinger of doom. This is a prequel story that explains how did Nazis obtain the occult knowledge to summon Hellboy and how did Bruttenholm (Hellboy's mentor, teacher and father figure) find himself in all of this mess.
I especially liked the character of Sandhu, British special agent from India who came across a lot of weird and strange things while fighting for the British. But when he sends his reports nobody believes him - be it for his origins or because things he reports are just hardly believable.
Highly recommended to all fans of adventure and of course Hellboy universe.
