B.P.R.D. - a SPOOKY Podcast to Astonish
With the fourteenth issue of The Panel talk about the spooky procedural that is the B.P.R.D. story Plague of Frogs! Russel is away for this episode, Rust in Peace, but he IS alive... and speaking of alive, so is the small town that Abe Sapian and the crew find themselves in! It's an expertly told spooky story, with some stellar art by Guy Davis who proved to be the perfect addition to a universe that for so long was only shown through the lense of Mignola's pens and pencils.
