About Hellsing
Hellsing follows the secret Hellsing Organization as it fights vampires, ghouls and other supernatural threats to England.
Kouta Hirano wrote and drew it for Shōnen Gahōsha's seinen magazine Young King OURs from April 1997 to September 2008. It is complete in ten volumes, and Dark Horse Comics publishes it in English. Hirano also released a six-chapter prequel, Hellsing: The Dawn, between 2002 and 2006.
Gonzo's 13-episode anime aired on Fuji TV from 2001 to 2002. The ten-episode OVA Hellsing Ultimate, released from 2006 to 2012, follows the manga more closely.
