West of Sundown: The Blood-Sucking Western Adventure Continues as Series Gets Promoted to Ongoing
Vault Comics has announced that West of Sundown will be extended to an ongoing series after readership has grown exponentially. The western vampire tale that follows main character Constance der Abend and her assistant Dooley as they navigate the world and elude slayers is co-written by Tim Seeley and Aaron Campbell, drawn by Jim Terry, colored by Triona Farrell, and lettered by Crank!.
Vault Comics‘ description of West of Sundown #6 reads:
“The New Mexico town of Sangre De Moro has accepted its strange new residents: a vampire, her thrall, Frankenstein’s monster, and the would-be mad scientist, Griffin. But a new threat has come for the evil-saturated soil of the mesa: Aristide Moreau and his strange companions.”
“WEST OF SUNDOWN is about the great mythologies of the old world slamming into the folklore of the new world…the legends of Europe, and the birth of the American beast,” said Seeley. “And, taking that theme as a skeleton, we’ve draped it with the sewed together skin of Sergio Leone Westerns and Hammer Horror films. Gritty sunsets meets foggy nights. The gothic graveyard meets Boot Hill. What horrors lie in our shared unconsciousness, and how do we stuff them all into a too-tight corset?”
West of Sundown‘s second arc will begin with Issue #6 on November 16, 2022. Fans will have the option of collecting two different variants by artist Jenny Frison and three open-order covers by Campbell, Terry, & Seeley.
