American Vampire

I just read issue #1 of this the other day and was seriously blown away folks!

This is a brand new Stephen King written work done specially for this comic series. American Vampire is a new Vertigo Comic ongoing series with each issue containing 2 stories, one set in the 1920's during the infancy of the silent film era and the other during the late 1800's on the Western frontier. Series creator Scott Snyder writes the first and Stephen King pens the second story in each of the first 5 issues, with series artist Rafael Alburquerque illustrating both in differing styles. It's about vampires. Plain and simple. But the hook is that it's about the evolution of vampires. Each story is connected and has a main character who is the kick-start of a new step on the evolutionary ladder, the American Vampire. Meet outlaw Skinner Sweet and struggling Hollywood actress Pearl Jones as only the master of horror can write them.
