American Vampire #12

American Vampire #12 arrives in April 2011 with a striking blood-red cover by Rafael Albuquerque, dominated by a gaunt, fang-bearing vampire looming large against the crimson backdrop while a small biplane cuts through the lower corner — a juxtaposition that sets an eerie, atmospheric tone for the "Strange Frontier" story within. Scott Snyder scripts alongside artist Danijel Žeželj, whose work on the interiors brings the same raw, unsettling energy that earned this Vertigo series a spot on Comic Book Resources' list of the 10 best comics of 2010. If you've been following this series, this issue looks like another compelling chapter in one of the most distinctive horror comics of its era.
