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).

Plague of Frogs volume 2 was published in September 2011 (ISBN: 978-1-59582-672-5, cover price 34.99$, 478 pages).

Below is a picture taken for size comparison with a regular comic. For all the collection second and third of cover are black.

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

Writers and artists involved in each volume are listed before the title page. There is a one page introduction written by Scott Allie dated 2011, and a one page afterword written by Mike Mignola.
This second volume collects the following stories, with their respective virgin cover:

'The Dead'
'War on Frogs'
'The Black Flame'
'Born Again' (from 'Hellboy Premiere Edition')
'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).
