True Blood #1 Exclusive Foil Wrap Around Cover by David Messina,
$5, Limited to 1,000
The much-anticipated True Bloodcomic series, based on Alan Ball's hit HBO show, kicks off at San Diego Comic Con with not one, but two exclusive covers! This exclusive foil wrap cover features all the major characters from the series, by fan-favorite artist David Messina.
Offering back-story details on the most fan-favorite characters, True Blood #1 begins when blood and sex mix on a hot rainy night at Merlotte's. People die and dirty secrets are revealed as Sookie, Bill, Eric, Sam, Tara, Jason, and Lafayette and are all coerced to dig deep and tell painful memories from their past-those things we all have locked within us that we never tell another living soul! Bon Temps, Louisiana has never been stranger, or more twisted, in a story co-plotted by TRUE BLOOD series creator Alan Ball, with a script by David Tischman (Bite Club) and Mariah Huehner, and lush art by David Messina (Star Trek: Countdown).
First Issue special: an exclusive pullout gatefold poster by David Messina!
