Hamilton, proudly present Anita Blake-Vampire Hunter: The First Death #1, an exclusive two-part never before seen tale by New York Times Best-Selling novelist Laurell K. Hamilton and Jonathon Green. Featuring art by Wellinton Alves, and a cover by fan favorite Anita artist Brett Booth, this can’t miss limited series will shed new light on Anita’s past! Set one year before the top selling Anita Blake-Guilty Pleasures limited series, fans will learn how Anita met some key characters…and the first time she hunted a serial killer!

Critics continue to praise Anita Blake, with Keith Dallas of SilverBulletComicBooks.com declaring that Guilty Pleasures was, “The surprise hit of 2006.” Marvel urges retailers to check their orders on Anita Blake-Vampire Hunter: The First Death #1, as every issue of Guilty Pleasures has sold out at Diamond (though copies may be available at the retail level) and interest continues to grow in this enduring cast of characters. And don’t miss out on Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures Vol.1 HC, featuring the first original comics story by Laurell K Hamilton!
