About the series
Der Prinz der Nacht, published by Splitter from 1995 to 2000, is a compact four-issue German comic series that reimagines the vampire mythos through a dark, atmospheric Gothic lens. Steeped in brooding European horror, it follows a centuries-old vampire prince navigating a world of ancient curses, forbidden love, and supernatural intrigue. The series is most closely associated with writer and artist Yves Swolfs, whose lush, shadow-drenched artwork and moody storytelling earned it a cult following among fans of mature, European horror comics. Its concise, self-contained narrative and striking visual style make it a notable entry in the 1990s European comics landscape.
