Stake

From 1998 to 2000, Sandro Müntzing's Stake ran for seven issues, a short but distinctive horror comic published during the late-'90s indie boom. The series follows a vampire hunter whose grim mission is complicated by personal tragedy and the monstrous world he inhabits. Müntzing's stark, moody artwork and lean storytelling give the book a raw, atmospheric feel that stands out among its genre peers. Stake remains a cult favorite for fans of no-frills, character-driven horror.
