Finally, the acclaimed horror title which was nominated for an Eisner Award for "best new series" is collected in a stunning hardcover featuring the first 12 issues and more!
From RODNEY BARNES, the breakout star comics scribe and television writer behind HBO's Winning Time, and the show-stopping artist who redefined SPAWN for a new generation, JASON SHAWN ALEXANDER.
When a small-town beat cop comes home to bury his murdered father, revered Philadelphia detective James Sangster Sr., he stumbles into a mystery that will lead him down a path of horrors and shake his beliefs to their core. The city that was once the symbol of liberty and freedom has fallen prey to corruption, poverty, unemployment, brutality...and vampires.
Now, it’s up to Jimmy and an unexpected companion to stop long-thought-dead President of the United States John Adams from building an undead army and staging a bloody new American revolution.
There’s a reason they say you can’t go home again. Welcome to Killadelphia.

"Sparely written, beautifully rendered and topical, Killadelphia is a genuinely frightening horror graphic. Can’t wait to read the next issue!” —Steven Barnes & Tananarive Due
“Jason Shawn Alexander is one of my favorite artists working today, and writer Rodney Barnes is the perfect collaborator for this atmospheric horror story with a terrifyingly real sense of place.” —Brian K. Vaughan
“It’s the best graphic novel I’ve ever read. Five times more graphic and eight times more novel.” —Chris Rock
“Killadelphia is such a kick-in-the-head, radically brilliant take on modern vampires that you want to rejoice. Tight writing, gorgeous art and yes, genuine scares and laughs. A love letter to the genre and a ransom note to America. My brain is still spinning.” —Patton Oswalt
“Killadelphia is the stunning and fresh horror fable I’ve been craving. This one feels like a classic.” —Jordan Peele
“A very unique visual style. It pulls from classic art and horror imagery to give us a comic that doesn’t look like a comic but rather like the inside of a nightmare.” —Graphic Policy
