The blood-soaked chronicles of America’s most dangerous breed continue in American Vampire #12 – 2011, a pivotal chapter in the Eisner Award-winning series from Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque. Part of the “Ghost War” arc, this issue dives headfirst into the violent, supernatural shadows of World War II—where the battlefield is littered not only with bullets, but with fangs.
In issue #12, the story shifts to 1943, following Henry Preston and a group of elite soldiers dispatched to a remote Pacific island with a classified mission: neutralise a hidden vampire threat. Unbeknownst to them, they are walking into something far older—and far more monstrous—than they ever could’ve imagined. Meanwhile, back in the States, Pearl Jones finds herself haunted by the dangers of her past, as the vampire world begins to close in from all sides.
Rafael Albuquerque’s gritty, expressionist artwork continues to bring Snyder’s dark vision to life with moody panel work and explosive violence. This issue balances brutal action with sharp emotional beats, propelling the narrative forward with a perfect blend of horror, war, and noir.
A must-have for fans of the Vertigo line, period horror, and character-driven monster mythos, American Vampire #12 is an essential addition to any serious horror collection. Whether you're following Pearl and Skinner’s twisted journey or diving into the wartime intrigue of “Ghost War,” this issue delivers on every level.
