Van Helsing: From Beneath The Rue Morgue is a one-shot comic book from Dark Horse Comics, based on the film Van Helsing. It is based on the premise that Gabriel Van Helsing lived in Paris, and from his own perspective, telling his story through an inform sent to the Monsignor. It's not a sequel, nor a continuation of the movie. It's a side-story, within the same universe and timeline of the Van Helsing universe. The comic book draws inspiration from The Murders in the Rue Morgue by Edgar Allan Poe and The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau by H. G. Wells.

For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.”
