History Main / VampireDetectiveSeries

* The Confessor from ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' fits a number of these conventions. The Confessor is Batman as a ninja priest vampire. He’s a master detective, acrobat and martial artist who implacably and methodically stalks crime in the night.
* Although Andrew Bennett from Creator/DCComics' original ''ComicBook/IVampire'' ''ComicBook/HouseOfMystery'' miniseries never called himself a Vampire Detective, his quest to eradicate the Blood Red Moon cabal often required investigation and pitted him against human criminals. IHateYouVampireDad is inverted, as he's a sire hunting down his evil offspring.
* Hannibal King from the ''Comicbook/TheTombOfDracula'' comic. Working as a private detective, King was bitten and killed by Deacon Frost while on a case in London, England. Horrified to find himself one of the undead, King vowed never to consummate the curse by passing it on. He subsists on blood purchased or stolen from blood banks and consumes only corpses or animals. For the most part eschewing his vampirism, King continues to operate as a private detective, traveling freely only by night.
* ''ComicBook/{{Vampirella}}'' has gone through periods where she qualified for this. The HumanAliens space vampire has often worked as an investigator for the Catholic Church or simply on her own to hunt down various monsters hiding out among mortals. Her primary love interest has been Adam Van Helsing but recently switched to Tristan the Werewolf. She's also been the figure of unrequited love for a number of other companions.

* A female variant in ''Anime/{{Hellsing}}'' comes in the form of Seras Victoria, a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire who is [[ReluctantMonster reluctant]] about feeding. She even gets some detective work in a few of the episodes of the first series.
