Nosferatu #1

A towering, hooded vampire figure looms over a rain-soaked cityscape on Stefano Martino's cover for this 2011 Daedalus release — long coat, outstretched clawed hands, and hollow dark eyes projecting unmistakable menace against a storm-lit sky. The subtitle "Si vis pacem" ("If you want peace") lends the opening chapter an ominous, almost classical weight, hinting at dark bargains to come. Martino's atmospheric linework, brought to vivid life by Digikore Studios' brooding color palette, makes this a compelling entry point into a fresh take on vampire mythology.
