Written by Scott Snyder. Art and Cover by Rafael Albuquerque.
The story so far... Pearl Jones is a new kind of vampire, one of an American breed that can walk in the sun and has rattlesnake fangs. She's beautiful and powerful - and she's hiding from a tragic past… Skinner Sweet is an American vamp too - the kind you love to hate. He's good when he wants to be, but most of the time he's downright bad. He's Pearl's maker, but he's off in Mexico with an agenda of his own… Will their two stories collide, or are they separated forever? And who is this new villain on the horizon, someone bloodier and more evil than anything seen in AMERICAN VAMPIRE before? Who is THE GRAY TRADER and what does his arrival mean for Skinner and Pearl?

She can make you do whatever she wants and you'll believe it was your idea. She could be a mystical being, or a scientific oddity. Whatever she is, beware her presence. As the flower's bouquet can captivate a fly, so can Black Orchid control your mind - and your soul. Reporter Walt Maddocks has made it his business to find people who don't want to be found. His current subject of scrutiny is Flora Black, a woman who briefly achieved fame when she saved a high-profile political candidate from an assassin's bullet. No one has seen her since, but Maddocks is convinced that she has connections to a professional escort named Blackie, and just possibly the mysterious Black Orchid.
