Requiem chevalier vampire #3

Olivier Ledroit's cover for this 2016 Glénat volume is a breathtaking vision of dark grandeur — a crowned, long-haired vampire lord rises in crimson armor adorned with spreading black wings, a great sword looming behind him against a stormy, gothic sky. Pat Mills and Ledroit's Requiem Chevalier Vampire has always reveled in its lush, macabre aesthetic, and this third chapter, subtitled Dracula, signals that the series is ready to go straight for the throat. If you love your fantasy drenched in blood-red excess and rendered with genuine painterly craft, this one belongs on your shelf.
