Trust between the government and the American public has crumbled. Paranoia reigns supreme. It\u2019s 1976, not 2020, and this horrifying tale is the concluding chapter of the Eisner Award-winning American Vampire, reuniting Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque for a nine-issue miniseries!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cScott, Rafael, and I, we cut our teeth together on American Vampire 10 years ago,\u201d said executive editor Mark Doyle. \u201cReturning to finish the story we started a decade ago is a thrill. Working on American Vampire 1976 has been so creepy and cool, especially because the parallels between 70\u2019s paranoia and today are really chilling\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Skinner Sweet has exhausted all efforts to regain his lost immortality. With his powers and purpose gone, he is now determined to go out with a bang. At a seedy motorcycle rally in the desert where Skinner\u2019s closer than ever to his death wish, Pearl Jones and a shocking partner track him down for one last, desperate mission: the force known as the Gray Trader and its minions are tunneling through the bowels of the world to unleash hell on Earth\u2014just in time for America\u2019s bicentennial. With catastrophe looming, it\u2019s up to Skinner and Pearl to reconcile and change the course of history\u2014or die trying.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe characters in \u201876 are in a really dark place in terms of the fight against evil,\u201d says Snyder. \u201cThe &#8217;70s mirror our current era in many ways: the anxiety, the fear, and the re-examination of American identity. The book opens on Skinner Sweet working outside of Vegas doing death-defying Evel Knievel-style stunts, trying to die. There\u2019s a kind of Son of Sam plot in New York City with Cal and Travis, a political thriller plot with Felicia, and all sorts of &#8217;70s iconography. It\u2019s my favorite arc so far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The series that launched the careers of superstars Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque returns for nine final issues and the closing chapter of the legacy of American Vampire.<\/p>\n<p>American Vampire 1976 #1 by Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque will publish on October 6, 2020, and carry DC\u2019s Black Label descriptor, identifying the content as appropriate for readers ages 17+. The book will retail for $3.99 with cover artwork by Albuquerque and a variant cover by Dustin Nguyen&#8230;<\/em><\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Plus we have a look at the interior pages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2020\/07\/17\/dc-comics-universe-october-2020-solicitations-spoilers-all-star-creative-team-returns-to-iconic-series-for-a-creative-final-bite-at-dc-black-label\/american-vampire-1976-spoilers-a\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5207853\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/American-Vampire-1976-spoilers-A.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"455\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5207853\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2020\/07\/17\/dc-comics-universe-october-2020-solicitations-spoilers-all-star-creative-team-returns-to-iconic-series-for-a-creative-final-bite-at-dc-black-label\/american-vampire-1976-spoilers-b\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5207854\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/American-Vampire-1976-spoilers-B.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"455\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5207854\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2020\/07\/17\/dc-comics-universe-october-2020-solicitations-spoilers-all-star-creative-team-returns-to-iconic-series-for-a-creative-final-bite-at-dc-black-label\/american-vampire-1976-spoilers-c\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5207855\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/American-Vampire-1976-spoilers-C.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"455\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5207855\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2020\/07\/17\/dc-comics-universe-october-2020-solicitations-spoilers-all-star-creative-team-returns-to-iconic-series-for-a-creative-final-bite-at-dc-black-label\/american-vampire-1976-spoilers-d\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5207856\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/American-Vampire-1976-spoilers-D.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"455\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5207856\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":177,"featured_media":5378734,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1130],"tags":[9084,131250,41769,127336,298,301],"zone":[121886],"series":[],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Bloody-hand-radioactive-DCeased-zombies-logo-1.png","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/seriously-simple-podcasting\/assets\/images\/no-album-art.png","download_link":"","player_link":"","audio_player":false,"episode_data":{"playerMode":"dark","subscribeUrls":{"apple_podcasts":{"key":"apple_podcasts","url":"","label":"Apple Podcasts","class":"apple_podcasts","icon":"apple-podcasts.png"},"stitcher":{"key":"stitcher","url":"","label":"Stitcher","class":"stitcher","icon":"stitcher.png"},"google_podcasts":{"key":"google_podcasts","url":"","label":"Google Podcasts","class":"google_podcasts","icon":"google-podcasts.png"},"spotify":{"key":"spotify","url":"","label":"Spotify","class":"spotify","icon":"spotify.png"}},"rssFeedUrl":"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/feed\/podcast\/inside-pulse","embedCode":"<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"OadRwPJpMF\"><a href=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2020\/07\/17\/dc-comics-universe-october-2020-solicitations-spoilers-all-star-creative-team-returns-to-iconic-series-for-a-creative-final-bite-at-dc-black-label\/\">DC Comics Universe &#038; October 2020 Solicitations Spoilers: All-Star Creative Team Returns To Iconic Series For A Creative Final Bite At DC Black Label!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" src=\"https:\/\/insidepulse.com\/2020\/07\/17\/dc-comics-universe-october-2020-solicitations-spoilers-all-star-creative-team-returns-to-iconic-series-for-a-creative-final-bite-at-dc-black-label\/embed\/#?secret=OadRwPJpMF\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" title=\"&#8220;DC Comics Universe &#038; October 2020 Solicitations Spoilers: All-Star Creative Team Returns To Iconic Series For A Creative Final Bite At DC Black Label!&#8221; &#8212; Inside Pulse\" data-secret=\"OadRwPJpMF\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\"><\/iframe><script>\n\/*!
