Bigfoot, federal agent!! Protecting humans from cryptids, and protecting cryptids from humans…
Proof was a long running comic by Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo that I rather enjoyed. It’s the reason I still read Grecian’s novels.
John “Proof” Prufrock works for the Lodge, a federal agency that maintains a protective sanctuary for various critters and monsters to both keep them safe and contain them from preying on humans. Proof is one of their top agents and he works with a mix of various humans.
The first volume follows an investigating into something eating humans, while the second deals with a “gourmet club” that has a preference for exotic cryptid flesh.
Meanwhile various plots involve intrigue among the cryptids and humans at the Lodge, those outside the lodge with their own goals, as well as a study of Proof’s own background that starts around the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition.
This was a really fun series with a lot of fun cryptid lore. I’m sorry that it was so relatively brief compared to your comics of the period.
Highly recommend checking out some of the volumes if you ever have the chance, and if you like these, then check out the other work by the writer and artist.

This comic is too slow and eventless for my taste. The second arc has Proof go on the most boring mission imaginable. He breaks a guy's leg almost gratuitously, but that's not enough to get me to read any more of the series.
Colonel Werner Dachshund is a hunter of cryptids. The Lodge is obviously his adversary, so when he is located hunting sauropods, Proof and Ginger are sent to save a baby sauropod from Werner.

Proof, the Bigfoot agent, and Ginger go after a man who is hunting and eating dinosaurs.
This was a good volume. I enjoyed both the dinosaur story and the 'Elvis goes shopping' follow-up. The script being included felt like a bit of filler but hey - paper dolls!

Not much for me to write that isn't damning with faint praise. This was a little better than the first volume, but now that I've also read the third, I don't see myself exploring further.

Some background history of old characters and introductions of new ones. Still fun so far.

Oh, my - I love Proof! Proof is the name of a special agent (who happens to be a sasquatch) from the secret organization The Lodge. The mission of the Lodge is to find, study, research, preserve and protect so-called mythological and extinct creatures. This particular volume opens on some herbivorous dinosaurs grazing in the depths of an African jungle who are suddenly attacked by a band of hunters. We discover as the story continues that the man leading the attacks makes a habit of hunting mythological creatures and serving them for dinner at big banquets of friends with similar interests. He's definitely an evil guy. The Lodge sends Proof and his team to save the baby dinosaur that escaped his hunt this time and possibly to stop this guy permanently. He knows they're coming, and he sets a trap so he can hunt Proof and hopefully serve him as the prized main course.
This series is really smart and really fun to read, gorgeous art, really interesting characters...I can't think of anything bad to say about it! Add to that the fact that I just love the mythological/supernatural stuff, and I was totally hooked. I've been reading the single issues that have come out since this one, too, and we as readers encounter thunderbirds, a golem, a Chinese ink monkey, evil fairies, a chupacabra... Just mythologies from all over the world, which takes a lot of research and imagination to incorporate them into the storylines. I think of this as a comics-version of The X-Files only way better :)

Why doesn't this have a cover picture??
This continues to be a fun book. I didn't dig it nearly as much as the first volume, as it feels more like a transition from the first story into what the next one's going to be than a complete story. But I want to read what comes next, so Grecian & Rossmo are doing their job.

This volume read very quickly. The pacing actually worried me. But the second half of the book was weighted more towards character development and world-building. I only wish that such moments had been scattered throughout instead of saved for the arc's conclusion. Still very much lovin' my Proof.

I'm enjoying this series. I wasn't sure what to expect, and I can't tell at this stage whether it's got enough going for it to sustain my interest long-term, but I like the mix of quirky paranormal investigation and snappy dialog. I don't really like the artwork, though - it feels scribbly and rushed. Still, I'm about to star Book 3, so that's a good sign.

Some really solid stuff, some filler. But the art is cool and this thing flew by. Things wrapped up pretty tidily though and kind of left me wishing for a little bit more substance (I'm looking at you issue where they literally just go shopping for clothes). This volume does have some fun extras in the back though to make up for it.

This trade was good at establishing how messy the world Proof and Ginger work in actually is. With the character's and the universe established, we can actually just get stuck into the story and less time is spent on the introduction of the characters.

Easily one of the top 5 comic series being produced today. The end. Go read it.

Growing on the pace set in the first book, this is a great further exploration of a neat crew of characters. I like that this series is really character driven.

Remains engaging, strange and beautiful to look at. A very short volume, sadly, but on the other hand it serves to whet the appetite. Very much looking forward to more.

Nice blend of mystery, myth and humour. Definte fan.

Not as creepy as the first issue, but still great and I actually read this in one sitting. Yep, it had me hooked.
