Merce was a slave who was bitten by a vampire in the cotton fields. He has lived four hundred long years.
He is tired of just getting by and wants some joy back in his life. He had worked in a variety of different jobs and is now employed in DayBlack Georgia as a tattoo artist.
He has his tattoo gun rigged so that it leaves ink in the skin and extracts what Merce needs. He keeps the blood warm in his coffee maker.
Things are getting weird for Merce as he keeps falling asleep on the job, social media could be his downfall when a client threatens to leak that he falls asleep on the job. He knows how to handle it though.
Years ago Merce sponsored one of the "starving children" tv ads and his "son" shows up in Georgia. As a vampire hunter.
I loved this story. A completely new take on the vampires.
It's also told in black, white and red ink because vampires are color blind and that's the only colors they see.

Highly stylized urban vampire gothic. Intriguing. I'm interested to watch this artist develop.

When the tattoo parlour meets that 70's record shop under a cloud of pre-EPA pollution and in walks a vampire and a posse of Mexican wrestlers. All told with a rastafarian woodblock print vibe.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
First, the artwork in this is fantastic. I also thought that the character and story idea was really inventive. However, a lot of this volume feels like it is just setting things up for future volumes. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Completely unique, engrossing, a visual masterpiece!
I was drawn in from the very start with the images story, and the main character.

Keep Cross never disappoints! His comics are delightfully dark and his art is killer.

Thanks NetGalley for sending me a digital copy of this.
Just my cup of tea!
The art is stunning and complex. The narrative-entertaining and modern. Truly gripping.
I WANT MORE!!!

Check out this sick art!
I picked this up in 2018 and just got around to reading it, and I love it! I swear I saw a reference to it in social media today, and that's what reminded me of it, but now I can't find it. Anyway - get and read it. And follow the author (@KeefCross) on Instagram.
