DARKSTALKERS TPB VOL. 1
Written by Ken Siu-Chong, art by Alvin Lee, Kevin Lau and Joe Vriens.
Join fan-favorites Morrigan, Demitri, Felicia and the entire Darkstalkers cast in this affordably priced 144-page digest! This trade paperback, featuring a brand-new cover by Capcom's Shinkiro, collects the main stories from the first six-issues of the Darkstalkers series, as well as the rare Morrigan origin story previously only available in the 2004 Capcom Summer Special. In Darkstalkers, the fate of the world seems to have taken a bleak and ominous turn. Slowly, but steadily, increasing numbers of supernatural, inhuman creatures have inexplicably begun to walk the Earth. Coming in numerous shapes and sizes--as vampires and werewolves and as zombies and ghosts--these beings that have brought fear to the night have come to be known by one name: The Darkstalkers. Some Darkstalkers prey on humans, while others try to live in peace with them, while others are too busy fighting amongst themselves to even care what humans do.
