James Robinson and Javier Pulido's "Memoria Roja" takes a striking turn in this 2012 DC series, and Tony Harris's cover makes the stakes immediately clear — a desperate figure clutches a frightened infant in one hand and brandishes a glowing blade in the other, surrounded by red-eyed shadows aboard the rigging of a tall ship. The cover tagline says it all: "Vampires on the High Seas!" Issue #5 of The Shade promises a moody, atmospheric adventure with a gothic nautical edge that fans of character-driven DC storytelling will find hard to resist.
