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.

Famous quotes containing the words van, beneath, rue and/or morgue:
“To call a posit a posit is not to patronize it. A posit can be unavoidable except at the cost of other no less artificial expedients. Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“A refined simplicity is the characteristic of all high bred deportment, in every country, and a considerate humanity should be the aim of all beneath it.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
For many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“To enumerate the different trades by which the women in New York are endeavoring—not to live—that for many of them is as utterly unattainable a goal as the end of the rainbow—but simply to postpone as long as possible their appearance at the morgue or the cemetery—to attempt to do this would be useless.”
—Katharine Pearson Woods (1853–1923)
