Baltimore Omnibus, Vol. 1 by Mike Mignola

This omnibus collects early installments of a brooding, illustrated saga about a scarred English officer who, after a horrific encounter during the Great War, devotes himself to hunting a relentless vampiric menace; his quest carries him through plague-racked ports and shadowed European backwaters as the story blends gothic horror, bleak atmosphere, and stark, muscular artwork while exploring obsession, loss, and the heavy personal cost of a lifelong crusade.
