Moonstone Books Takes Readers to Vampire, PA This June
Vampire, PA #1 (of 3)
Story: J.C. Vaughn
Art: Brendon Fraim, Brian Fraim
Covers: Mark Wheatley, Jacob Jordan
32pgs, color, $3.99
From the writer of Zombie-Proof comes this trip to Western Pennsylvania’s oddly vampire-rich environment!
Vampires in suburbia? Dean Marklin didn’t think so. In fact, he didn’t believe in vampires at all. Then he met one. Then he met lots more, and they all wanted to kill him! Now he’s a vampire hunter, and he’s pursued by a beautiful vampire while he tries to hold onto what’s left of normal life. How do you think that’s working out for him?

It's always exciting when we discover new talent, or get a brilliant new proposal from one of our established masters. At the moment we can announce several of BOTH! The upcoming graphic novels we've recently signed include five new kid-friendly series, five new graphic novels by wonderful female creators, a massive award-winner from France, a full-length graphic novel from mini-comics master Will Dinski, the writing debut of Eric Skillman (designer of the beautiful ALEC omnibus, as well as the upcoming PLAYWRIGHT and AX anthology), and eight (!) incredible new graphic novels from our all-time greats.
We'll have more details on each book as they get closer to publication, but for now we'll tease you with the titles, and direct you here to check out the details we have available:
