American Vampire
Graphic Novel Summary: This first volume of the critically acclaimed series collects issues #1-5 and follows two stories: one written by Scott Snyder and one written by Stephen King, both with art by superstar Rafael Albuquerque. Snyder's tale follows Pearl, a young woman living in 1920s Los Angeles, who is brutally turned into a vampire and sets out on a path of righteous revenge against the European monsters who tortured and abused her. And in King's story set in the days of America's Wild West, readers learn the origin of Skinner Sweet, the original American vampire - a stronger, faster creature than any vampire ever seen before.

Customer Reviews
I’ve got to say, with all the Twilight love that’s been going around these last few years I was worried about this series my wife bought me for my birthday. Vampires had lost their appeal to me, I’m happt to say, just finished vol.3. AMAZING, I love the characters and how the story spans across multiple decades. The artwork is superb. I find myself dewlling on pages trying to soak in all the images so beautifully, and grittily displayed. I’d recomend this to anyone for at least a try, you’ll know right away if you like it or not.
