Dark Blood

In the early 1920s, a Black World War I veteran returns to his Louisiana hometown to find it terrorized by a revived Ku Klux Klan—and his own family transformed by a mysterious, ancient power. Published by Boom! Studios, this six-issue miniseries from 2021–2022 pairs a gritty historical horror premise with the vivid, expressive artwork of Valentine De Landro, whose work on Bitch Planet made him a standout in modern comics. Dark Blood matters as a potent, supernatural-infused examination of racial violence and generational trauma, using the genre to confront a painful American legacy.
