Written by Brian Pulido. Illustrated by Jim Balent and colored by Jason Jensen. WRAPAROUND SCULPTED EMBOSSED COVER BY JIM BALENT! After a 4.000 year reign as a vampire goddess, Lady Death's archenemy, PURGATORI, has fallen from grace and is forced to live as a common vampire--thirsting for blood, hiding from daylight. If she's to have any chance to return to greatness--and a rematch with Lady Death--she must return to her homeland, Egypt. But there's a major obstacle. In the heart of Alexandria, Egypt is a coven of vicious, ancient vampires led by the African Queen, KABALA. They desire Purgatori's death for turning them into ravenous creatures of the night thousands of years ago. The series explores shocking, haunting secrets that bind Purgatori to the coven of ancients? And why is she so reluctant to relive them? That's exactly what the mystical, telepathic vampire, JADE, intends to discover--even if it kills Purgatori in the process! CREATOR COMMENTS: It was a dream come true to work with Jim Balent on this series. He did an wild job. His stuff was so edgy I was (almost) afraid to publish it. As we got art in for each issue there was more and more violence and nudity! MATURE READERS Full color, 32 pages, #1 (of 3) |
