HELLSING THE DAWN

 

Info: The Dawn features a fourteen year-old Walter C. Dornez and Alucard attacking the Millennium group's base of operations in Warsaw, Poland during September of 1944, in the midst of the Warsaw Uprising.

Integra's father - Sir Arthur Hellsing - and Sir Hugh Islands also make appearances. Arthur appears to have been a perverted and obnoxious drunk (although not incompetent) during that time.

Chapter One of the manga introduces us to the basic storyline of the Hellsing series. The creation of Ghouls, which are zombies used on the battlefield, is clearly portrayed. It also introduces us to Walter for the very first time, as a confident and somewhat cocky boy eager to face the battle. We are made familiar with Walter's weapon of choice, the flying wires.

In The Dawn, Alucard has taken the form of a young girl, for reasons that are unknown for the time being. Indeed, the fanbase has taken to naming him/her "Girlycard". They both fight against Millennium's top-class vampires and others alike from the original Hellsing manga, including the Captain, a younger, more far-sighted Rip van Winkle, and a currently unknown figure wrapped in bandages simply referred to as "She" by the Doctor and the Major.
