Would I be fine with I just read volumes 1-12 of the Hellboy paperbacks without reading any BRPD or the other side stuff?
I wasn't too sure how interwoven the plots are. Just wondering if it's mandatory to understand the overall story.

The plots are not interwoven at all.
>Would I be fine
Well, if you call not reading BPRD "fine", then you will be "fine".

Oh I plan to read BRPD, I just wanted to start out simple and read 1-12 straight through first. I dislike jumping around.
Alright then, you're a good person. You could use this too.
