Description

From Hammer Comic and Titan Comics comes Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter - the rebirth of one of their most iconic and much loved characters. Written by Dan Abnett and drawn by Tom Mandrake. Debonair supernatural expert Captain Kronos and his hunchbacked assistant, Grost, meet their match when they encounter a village where vampires have been stealing the vitality of young women, leaving them elderly and decrepit. Armed with his sword and formidable deductive reasoning, Kronos begins to solve the macabre mystery, with evidence pointing to the aristocratic Lady Durward and her family as prime suspects.
