____________________________________________________________________
American Vampire in my humble opinion is truly one of the most amazing original comic series to come out in the past 15 years. It's definitely in the same elite league with comic books such as Sandman, Scalped, and Y: The last man. This set represents how absolutely passionate I'am about American Vampire. I've never felt so emotionally connected and invested in a comic book until Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque came along and shook my world up for the better.
For each issue description in my registry I've included the original solicitation by Vertigo. I've also included images of all my graded comics and notes on who's signed my signature series copies as well.
