“The Vampire”

In "The Vampire," Stephen R. Bissette and Alan Moore weave a layered exploration of taboo through two concurrent text pieces in Taboo #9, a 1995 Kitchen Sink Press standout. Bissette’s essay "Taboo Is Taboo" unfolds across the left side of the first three pages and then the full page, while Moore’s "From Hell" remembrances appear in a tight column on the right. The issue’s distinctive layout and dual voices offer a rare, intimate look into the creators’ thoughts on the boundaries of horror and storytelling—no art, no plot, just raw reflection. Cover by Alan M. Clarke.
