Hellsing (1997–2008)
The vampire Van Helsing defeated now works for the Hellsing family.
A century after the novel, the hunters won and kept the vampire — sworn to serve them, called Alucard, and pointed at every other monster.
You want the vampire on the hunters’ side, and you want it loud.
What it keeps and what it changes
Keeps: Abraham Van Helsing’s victory over a vampire a century earlier, and the vampire himself. Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards.
Changes: the balance of power, the century and the volume. This is a very violent action manga, rated 16+ by its publisher.
Whose story is it?
Alucard’s, and Sir Integra Hellsing’s, who commands him.
