About this Collection

American Vampire Vol. 3 collects issues #12–18 and #0 of Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque's acclaimed horror series. This volume continues the saga of vampire Skinner Sweet and Pearl Jones as the story jumps between the 1930s Hollywood horror scene and the gritty 1960s, introducing new threats and expanding the mythology of the American Vampire universe.

In "Strange Frontier," Henry Preston and the Vassals of the Morning Star face a terrifying onslaught of feral vampires during a critical mission to secure Taipan, turning a strategic operation into a desperate fight for survival. Meanwhile, Pearl Jones convinces Linden Hobbes to send her to the Japanese island after learning Skinner Sweet has joined the fray. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated with chilling precision by Rafael Albuquerque, with colors by Dave McCaig and letters by Pat Brosseau, the cover by Rafael Albuquerque captures the tension of a war unlike any before.
