Among the survivors were vampires, or Nobles as they called themselves, who gained control of shelters and technology that allowed them to create their own civilization, with them as the dominant race. The story of Vampire Hunter D arguably starts in what was then the futuristic 1999, when a nuclear war struck the Earth. Dark Horse are now releasing these omnibus editions of his novels, while Graphic Audio is to release fully dramatised audiobook versions of these books from December onwards. Created by Hideyuki Kikuchi, who also created Wicked City, and illustrated by Yoshitaka Amano (whose work has ranged from Speed Racer to the Final Fantasy games) these novels have resulted in the creation of a title character whose ventures into anime and manga have left their mark on popular Japanese culture. Vampire Hunter D is one of the most successful and enduring Japanese novel series, having started in 1983 and with new novels still being written to this day.
