In "The Unknown Vampire," Joe finds himself caught between loyalty and growing unease as he prepares to be best man at his friend’s wedding—only to question the bride’s strange behavior, from refusing photos to hiding their honeymoon destination. With past marriages ending in unexplained disappearances, Joe’s sense of dread deepens as he confronts the eerie possibility that something far more sinister than nerves is at play. The story, illustrated by Jay Disbrow with inks by the same, features a haunting cover by Ken Bald.

A passenger plane crashes on an uncharted Pacific island, leaving the survivors to face an even deadlier threat—a mysterious creature that hunts them under cover of darkness. As Dr. Vinson and the others grapple with mounting deaths and Edith's terrifying account of a half-human, half-bat attacker, they must determine whether the vampire is real or born from shock and desperation. With the creature striking night after night, the castaways' only hope lies in separating truth from superstition before it's too late.
