About the series
A harrowing, autobiographical work from 2023, Blood of the Virgin (Pantheon) follows a young, struggling filmmaker in 1970s Los Angeles as he navigates the exploitation film industry. Written and drawn by Sammy Harkham, the series is a raw, immersive examination of artistic ambition, compromise, and the brutal realities of independent cinema. Its debut issue immediately established Harkham as a singular voice, weaving dense, expressive cartooning with a deeply personal narrative.
