American Vampire #17
In "Ghost War Part 5," Henry Preston and a dwindling squad of Vassals of the Morning Star fight to survive on the besieged island of Taipan, hunted by both the Imperial Japanese Army and a brutal, feral strain of vampire. With the Skinner Sweet leading the desperate escape, every step toward freedom is shadowed by the relentless hunt. Written by Scott Snyder and brought to life with haunting visuals by Rafael Albuquerque—pencils and inks on the interior and cover—and colored by Dave McCaig, this 2.99 USD issue from 2011 delivers a tense, atmospheric chapter in the American Vampire saga.
