B.P.R.D: 1946-1948 by Mike Mignola, Joshua Dysart
I'd previously read 1946 and 1947 as separate books, but picked this collection up when I couldn't find 1948. I think they read better as a collection. You can see how young Hellboy, Varvara, and general vampire arcs tie together.
1948 was interesting - Anders is losing his humanity after being infected by vampires in the last mini series, an atomic bomb test has somehow released monsters in the desert, and back at headquarters, Hellboy is starting to realize just how different he is. (The last page of him contemplating cutting is horns off is sad) It did feel a bit unfinished at the end though. The monsters seem to be gone after they clean up the testing site, but nothing really gets resolved.
