Description

DayBlack is the story of Merce, a former slave who was bitten by a vampire in the cotton fields. Four hundred years later, he works as a tattoo artist in the small town of DayBlack.

“DayBlack is officially the best comic that I have read in 2016!! (so far!) From the illustrations, to the plot, to the diversity, this comic bares it all. The author, Keef Cross is a tattoo artist, and he doesn’t shy away from displaying his creative tats with the readers. They are stunning!“
