This fall Dark Horse Comics invites you to go back to the beginnings of a popular character with the five-issue The Strain: Mister Quinlan—Vampire Hunter, a prequel of sorts to the main storyline of The Strain.

Renowned comics creator David Lapham (Stray Bullets, Silverfish) and artist Edgar Salazar (Smallville: Alien, Deathstroke) join forces to tell a brand-new tale about the origins of a fan-favorite character: Mr. Quinlan.

For five years acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and novelist Chuck Hogan have published their New York Times best-selling series of novels, The Strain Trilogy, with Dark Horse Comics producing six volumes of graphic novel adaptations. “The Strain” is also a very successful television series on FX, now entering its third season premiering in August.

With a stunning cover by Juan Ferreyra and a 30th anniversary variant cover by Paolo Rivera, The Strain: Mister Quinlan—Vampire Hunter is a series fans won’t want to miss!

The Strain: Mister Quinlan—Vampire Hunter Issue #1 (of 5) is in stores September 14th.

Synopsis:
A vampiric abomination seeks to destroy the monster that sired him. Born as a mistake of a powerful vampire known as the Master and raised in the brutal gladiatorial arenas of ancient Rome, Mr. Quinlan must survive long enough to carry out his mission when his target begins hunting him.

Standard cover by Juan Ferreyra
