About the series
From 2011 to 2016, DC Comics published American Vampire, an eight-issue series co-plotted by literary horror icon Stephen King alongside Scott Snyder, with striking, period-appropriate art from Rafael Albuquerque, Dustin Nguyen, and Jordi Bernet. The series reimagined the vampire mythos through an American lens, tracking the evolution of a new breed of vampire across different eras of U.S. history. Its significance lies in its ambitious, character-driven horror that treated the vampire as a distinctly American monster, blending Western, noir, and war genres into a cohesive, blood-soaked saga.
