Abraham Van Helsing

Abraham Van Helsing is the iconic vampire hunter from Bram Stoker's Dracula, a learned professor and expert in the occult who leads the charge against Count Dracula to protect Mina Harker and her companions. His comics appearances include adaptations such as Manga Classics: Dracula and Scarlet in Gaslight.

Few names carry more gothic weight than Abraham Van Helsing, the legendary vampire hunter whose comics presence stretches from a Bronze Age debut in Vampirella #100 (1981) — brought to life by Archie Goodwin and Tony Caravana — all the way through 2018. His catalog appearances lean heavily on prestige adaptations like Graphic Classics, Manga Classics: Dracula, and the atmospheric Scarlet in Gaslight, where he keeps formidable company with Dracula, Mina Harker, Jonathan Harker, Quincey Morris, and John Seward. Published under Eureka Productions, this version of Van Helsing lives in the world of literary-comics crossover territory, where classic horror gets reimagined for devoted readers. If you love seeing the great monster-hunting scholar rendered in ink and panels across multiple artistic interpretations, his small but distinguished comics footprint is absolutely worth tracking down.
