Blood & Dust: The Life & Undeath of Judd Glenny # 1 (Action Lab 2016)

Blood & Dust: The Life & Undeath of Judd Glenny #1 (Action Lab: Danger Zone, 2016)

A gritty, swamp-soaked tale of family, survival, and the undead.

Step into the dark corners of the American South with Blood & Dust. Released in 2016 under Action Lab's "Danger Zone" imprint, this series offers a fresh, mature take on vampire lore. The story follows Judd Glenny, a man who has spent decades protecting his family from the monstrous hunger that lives within him.

Unlike the polished vampires of modern pop culture, Judd’s existence is one of "blood and dust"—a raw, visceral struggle for redemption in a world that has forgotten him. When his past finally catches up, the fragile peace he has built for his grandchildren is threatened by a darkness even older than himself.

Issue Highlights:

• A New Kind of Vampire: Forget the capes and castles. This is a story of a blue-collar "living dead" man trying to be a grandfather while fighting a primal urge.

• Atmospheric Storytelling: The writing and art work in tandem to create a heavy, humid atmosphere that feels like a classic Southern Gothic horror film.

• Mature Themes: As part of the Danger Zone line, this book explores the darker, more violent consequences of immortality and the lengths one will go to protect their kin.
