Black Kiss #9
"Black Kiss Book Nine" delivers another pulse-pounding chapter in Howard Chaykin’s dark, stylish saga, with Chaykin both writing and drawing the story alongside Ella Vine’s distinctive art and Ken Bruzenak’s sharp lettering. The Order’s obsession with a compromising film of Beverly Grove and Bubbau Kenton intensifies as they seek to exploit the secret to eternal youth—though the truth behind the footage may be far more dangerous than they imagine. Chaykin’s gritty visuals and layered storytelling anchor this 1989 Vortex release, with his own cover pencils and inks adding to the issue’s haunting, seductive atmosphere.
