10 Amazing Comics You've Never Heard Of

2. Baltimore

Mr Hitlers Holiday
Dark Horse Comics

Another series dealing with alternate histories, Baltimore was originally an illustrated novel that eventually evolved into a string on limited comic series. The story features an Earth where the First World War was prematurely ended by a devastating plague. 

The fragile peace that settles over Europe is shattered months later when the continent is overrun by vampires. The main series follows Lord Henry Baltimore, an aristocratic former soldier on the hunt for the vampire that killed his wife. Of course, vengeance is only Baltimore's primary motivation, and the story follows the characters as he crosses the war- and vampire-decimated Europe fighting all manner of undead and demonic enemies. 

Ideal for fans of Blade and Hellblazer, Baltimore features everything from underwater zombie graveyards and zeppelin-flying vampires to demented surgeons and evil nuns. Yeah, Baltimore is about as mad and bloody as it sounds.

With a (nearly) useless degree in English literature and a personal trainer qualification he's never used, Freddie spends his times writing things that he hopes will somehow pay the rent. He's also a former professional singer, and plays the saxophone and ukulele. He's not really used to talking about himself in the third person, and would like to stop now, thanks.
