Bite Club: Vampire Crime Unit #3

From Vertigo's 2006 supernatural crime series, this third installment of Bite Club: Vampire Crime Unit delivers a cover that immediately sets a tense, provocative mood. Howard Chaykin's pencils and inks put a female vampire police officer center stage — in full uniform but with fangs bared — gripping iron jail bars from the inside, her expression caught somewhere between fury and desperation. It's a striking image that neatly encapsulates the series' premise: law enforcement and the undead tangled up together in ways that never stay clean or simple.
