This article deals with Dark Horse B.P.R.D. material published in regular size canvas hardcovers (10.5 x 7 inches or 26.5 x 18 cm) with dust jacket and thick glossy paper (see also the end of this article).

The inner hardcover book comes with glossy silver printing (no illustration on back cover). This edition is designed by Amy Arendts.

This second volume collects the following stories, with their respective virgin cover:
  • 'The Dead'

  • 'Revival' (from MySpace Dark Horse Presents #8 and 9)
Note that each volume are edited in books using covers of the previous paperbacks.










This volume ends with a comprehensive art section (39 pages) divided by story and commented (I don't own the respective paperbacks but these sketches probably originates from them, therefore I don't thing this edition presents exclusive material).
