American Vampire #20

Part two of "The Beast in the Cave" arrives in this December 2011 issue of Vertigo's Eisner Award-winning series, with a cover by Rafael Albuquerque that immediately commands attention — a brooding, gun-wielding figure looms large in silhouette against a stark red background, while below, a snarling vampire and a dark-haired woman emerge from the chaos of a crowd scene. Scott Snyder and Jordi Bernet continue their atmospheric collaboration inside, promising the same blend of horror and tension that made this series a standout of its era.
