Vamps: Pumpkin Time #2

Vertigo's Vamps: Pumpkin Time reaches its second chapter with a cover by Frank Quitely that grips you immediately — a wild-haired, red-headed woman is pinned against a massive tree trunk, her arms wrenched outward by a dozen grasping, clawed hands emerging from the gnarled branches surrounding her. The image radiates desperate, primal tension, with her snarling expression suggesting she's far from finished fighting back. Writer Elaine Lee and artist William Simpson bring their horror-soaked series into "Book Two: The Wild Hunt," and Quitely's cover sets a perfectly menacing tone for whatever the hunt has in store.
