Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned

In the early 1990s, Innovation Comics adapted Anne Rice's Queen of the Damned into an 11-issue series, bringing the gothic, globe-spanning saga of vampire lore and ancient rivalries to sequential art. Scripted by Rice alongside Faye Perozich and Cynthia Wood, the comic was visualized by a rotating team of artists including Octavio Cariello, Scott Multer, and Daerick Gross Sr., who rendered the novel's lush, decadent atmosphere in painted and line styles. This faithful, authorized adaptation stands as a distinctive artifact of the period, offering a direct bridge between Rice's literary phenomenon and the early boom of licensed comic book storytelling.
