A vampire has sex-positive adventures in this “pop shojo”-style graphic novel.
Clover — the “pretty” vampire of the title — is a Bardot-esque blonde who dreams of the (now-dead) girl she once was four years ago before becoming a fanged bloodsucker. She is being kept prisoner by her brother, Marcel, who fears Clover will be hunted by the outside world (and who may have other, more selfish motivations as well). Clover’s curiosity, however, will not be suppressed: impetuous, sensual, strong-willed, and fearless, she plans her escape. The resultant havoc would make Dario Argento proud.
Praise
"My Pretty Vampire is the best '60s underground gem that never was, a descent into big hair and paisley politics by acclaimed cartoonist Katie Skelly." — Paste
"A playful riff on vampire tropes, My Pretty Vampire is a colorful collision of Euro-arthouse, pop, and exploitation influences." — SciFiNow
"Katie Skelly's My Pretty Vampire is a very fresh take on the iconic bloodsuckers." — Under the Radar
"Skelly's newest graphic novel My Pretty Vampire is a sensual, colorful rampage." — Portland Mercury
"The story by Katie Skelly is dark, funny, and intuitive. The art by Skelly is incandescent and the way she draws is quite gorgeous." — Graphic Policy
