Odd Jobs - Christopher Golden

Another good Hellboy book, like Odder Jobs, this has a reasonable number of Mignola illustrations throughout.

There are some good stories here, including one with Bigfoot, some remniscing over a lost colleague because of a scarecrow demon, an encounter with a Medusa, and a ratboss that wants to help the BPRD for employee services reasons.
