"Vampire!" delivers a chilling tale of ancient obsession and resurrection, set in 2902 B.C. when King Khufu’s desire for the maiden Nirrah leads to tragedy. When her beloved Famu is slain, Nirrah uses a sacred prayer to bring him back—but the King traps her in the tomb, sealing her fate. Centuries later, a British Museum expedition uncovers the tomb, echoing the past in a way that defies death. Written by Albert B. Feldstein and illustrated with haunting detail by Jack Kamen, with colors by Marie Severin and letters by Jim Wroten, the story unfolds with a gothic elegance. The cover by Johnny Craig captures the dread with a stark, timeless image.
