American Vampire #5

May 2014 · DC · 16.99 USD; 19.99 CAD
“Lord of Nightmares”

In "Lord of Nightmares," Hobbes presses Felicia to believe the terrifying truth: Dracula is real, not just a story. As Glass delivers the coffin to the Soviets and performs a dark ritual to awaken Dracula’s power, the consequences ripple across continents—Gus in London turns on Hobbes, caught in the growing shadow of the vampire lord. Written by Scott Snyder and illustrated by Dustin Nguyen, with colors by John Kalisz and letters by Steve Wands, this issue’s cover by Rafael Albuquerque captures the creeping dread of a myth made flesh.
