Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) April 14, 2009

“DMP is really excited to be working with Uclick in bringing Vampire Hunter D to mobile phones,” said DMP Production Director Daryl Kuxhouse. “I know fans will enjoy having a entirely new way to encounter the adventures of Hideyuki Kikuchi’s half-vampire hero.”
Vampire Hunter D began in 1983 as a very popular series of prose novels written by Hideyuki Kikuchi with illustrations by Yoshitaka Amano. Kikuchi mixed elements of gothic horror, science fiction and romance with the classic Western to create a wholly original, post-apocalyptic vision of the distant future, where humanity is ruled by vampires and tormented by a host of creatures which includes demons, werewolves and mutants, as nicely as half-human, half-vampire ‘dhampirs’ like the series’ namesake, D.
Vampire Hunter D novels have an international fan base, getting sold much more than 17 million copies about the globe. The novels have been adapted into two anime movies, an audio drama, a video game and printed manga adaptations.

This is a blockbuster-sized epic filled with action, horror, romance and intrigue, and we’ve taken wonderful care to make sure that this series of apps truly captures the power of the story and imagery.
“Our presentation of Vampire Hunter D takes full advantage of the big, backlit iPhone and iPod touch screens to give readers a captivating and unprecedented manga encounter.”
