Hellsing

Kohta Hirano's gothic horror epic, published in English by Dark Horse from 2003 to 2010, follows the shadowy Royal Order of Protestant Knights as they battle vampires and other supernatural threats in a world where Dracula himself serves humanity. Written by Duane Johnson and illustrated by Hirano, this 10-issue series is renowned for its visceral, kinetic artwork and its unflinching blend of religious iconography, ultraviolence, and dark humor. A defining work of early-2000s manga-influenced Western comics, Hellsing remains a touchstone for fans of stylish, action-horror storytelling.
