Originally a series of Japanese novels, then adapted into an anime movie in 1985, one of the first distributed in the West, Vampire Hunter D holds a special place in the American anime fan canon.

But it took until 2007 before it was adapted as a manga. And nine years later, this Movember, it is getting more of a Western comic book feel, courtesy of Stranger Comics.
