'''''Hellsing: The Dawn''''' is a [[prequel]] to [[Kouta Hirano|Kouta Hirano's]] [[manga]] ''[[Hellsing]]''.

''The Dawn'' features a fourteen year-old [[Walter C. Dornez]] and [[Alucard (Hellsing)|Alucard]] attacking the [[Hellsing#Millennium|Millennium]] group's base of operations in [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]] during September of 1944, in the midst of the [[Warsaw Uprising]].

[[Integra Hellsing|Integra]]'s father - Sir Arthur Hellsing - and Sir Hugh Islands also make appearances. Arthur appears to have been a perverted and obnoxious drunk (although not incompetent) during that time.

Chapter One of the manga introduces us to the basic storyline of the Hellsing series. The creation of Ghouls, which are zombies used on the battlefield, is clearly portrayed. It also introduces us to Walter for the very first time, as a confident and somewhat cocky boy eager to face the battle. We are made familiar with Walter's weapon of choice, the flying wires.

In ''The Dawn'', Alucard has taken the form of a young girl<ref>http://www.deathcom.net/ See the Hirano interview in the Otakon 2006 media section</ref>, for reasons that are unknown for the time being. Indeed, the fanbase has taken to naming him/her "Girlycard". They both fight against Millennium's top-class vampires and others alike from the original ''Hellsing'' manga, including [[Hans Günsche|the Captain]], a younger, more far-sighted [[Rip van Winkle (Hellsing)|Rip van Winkle]], and a currently unknown figure wrapped in bandages simply referred to as "She" by [[The Doctor (Hellsing)|the Doctor]] and [[Montana Max (Hellsing)|the Major]].

''The Dawn'' is published at irregular intervals in special editions of [[Young King Ours|Young King OURs]]. Six chapters have been published so far.

It is likely that ''The Dawn'' will be animated as part of the new Hellsing [[OVA]] series. It is featured in the OVA series trailer, and much of the material seen in the ending credits of ''Hellsing III'' is taken from ''The Dawn'', including some scenes that have yet to be published by [[Shonen Gahosha]]. "She" is also featured in a wallpaper advertising the upcoming OVA IV, available at Geneon's official website.[http://www.geneon-ent.co.jp/rondorobe/anime/hellsing/images/wallpaper/kabegami._07_03xga.jpg][http://www.geneon-ent.co.jp/rondorobe/anime/hellsing/images/wallpaper/kabegami._07_03sxgajpg.jpg] This seems to suggest that some chapters of ''The Dawn'' will be incorporated into ''Hellsing IV''.
