Hellsing

A decade-spanning, ten-issue saga from Tonkam, Hellsing follows the shadowy Royal Order of Protestant Knights as they wage a bloody, secret war against the undead and supernatural threats to the British Empire. Defined by its gothic, hyper-detailed art and unflinching action, the series is most associated with the creator-driven vision that brought its iconic, trench-coated vampire protagonist to life. It matters as a definitive, self-contained work of modern horror manga, establishing a grim, stylish tone that influenced the genre's visual language.
