Five fearsome newcomers arrive in Fear City, and their first outreach is to murder four teen-agers on the beach. They're the Deadbeats, a cruel and crafty vampire gang, and their mission could result in utter destruction of the entire town. Meet Dodger, Colleen, Mickey, and their so-called leader Southie, as they were presented for the first time. Discover why Deadbeats is the vampire saga with enough murder, sin, lust, and redemption to satisfy the most discerning reader. The early chapters of the vampires' invasion are presented in their integrity. Deadbeats is America's new favorite vampire epic, and this volume collects all the vital early issues of the story. / 
This thrilling and terrifying collection features work from the first six issues of Claypool's much-hailed Deadbeats comics series, with stories and art by Richard (Portia Prinz) Howell and Ricardo (Strange Tales) Villagran. Deadbeats has been nominated by the British Comics Professionals Society as Best Dramatic Comics Series. And, as a bonus for fans, Kathryn Leigh Scott of the original Dark Shadows television program has written a foreword to this collection. / 
Deadbeats has the allure of strong, continuing story momentum and lush, reality-based art. Any reader of Vampirella or viewer of Dark Shadows or Forever Knight will be happy to add Deadbeats to her list of "must-have" titles.
