Van Helsing: From Beneath the Rue Morgue

In 2004, Dark Horse Comics launched a single-issue comic that reimagined the classic monster hunter in a grisly, atmospheric tale. Written by Joshua Dysart with haunting art by Jason Shawn Alexander, this one-shot pits Van Helsing against a new horror drawn from the depths of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." It stands as a concise, moody entry in the long tradition of pulp monster comics, blending literary horror with the series' signature gothic action.
