Baltimore (novel and comic series)

Baltimore is a series begun with a 2007 illustrated novel, and continued as a comicbook series. Created by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden.

Illustrated Novel
The series originally began with an illustrated novel, Baltimore, or, The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire in 2007. It followed the story of Lord Baltimore's hunt of the vampire Haigus as told by his three friends, Doctor Lemuel Rose, Thomas Childress Jr., and Demetrius Aischros.

Comics
In 2010 Dark Horse Comics began the comic series, Baltimore, following Lord Baltimore's hunt for Haigus during the years the original novel skipped over. From the fifth volume onward, the comics story has moved beyond the events of the original novel.

Collected editions
The comic book series has been collected hardcover volumes. Only the first volume has been published in paperback and there are currently no plans to release any others in this format.

Film adaptation
New Regency optioned the rights to adapt Baltimore as a film in September 2007. The novel's authors wrote a screenplay, while David S. Goyer was set to direct. After a leadership change at New Regency, the studio abandoned the project, and the rights have reverted to the authors.
