Castlevania: The Belmont Legacy

Marc Andreyko and E. J. Su brought the gothic horror of Konami's video game series to IDW in 2005, launching a single-issue comic that explores the origins of the Belmont clan's monster-hunting legacy. This debut issue, while brief, establishes the tone and lineage for a franchise that would continue to expand across multiple publishers. It matters as the first comic adaptation to focus squarely on the Belmont family's generational war against Dracula, setting a narrative foundation for later series.
