AMERICAN VAMPIRE BOOK ONE TP (DC COMPACT COMICS EDITION)

Now available in a portable, reader-friendly size, DC Compact Comics brings you the acclaimed American Vampire by Scott Snyder and Stephen King—an epic reinvention of the vampire mythos set against the gritty backdrop of American history.

Skinner Sweet is no ordinary bloodsucker. A corrupt gunslinger in the 1880s American West, he’s transformed by European vampires into something far worse: the first American vampire—faster, fiercer, and immune to sunlight. As he evolves into a dark symbol of rebellion and carnage, Skinner carves a bloody path through the most iconic eras of American history, from Wild West shootouts to Hollywood’s golden age to the criminal underworld of 1930s Las Vegas.

But his brutal war against the aristocratic European vampires awakens a new threat—an underground society ready to destroy them both. And when Skinner turns a young aspiring actress named Pearl Jones into one of his kind, her revenge-fueled journey begins.
