Dark Blood #2 (Raw VF/NM) - BOOM! Studios (Valentine De Landro Main Cover A)

Add a compelling historical sci-fi thriller to your inventory with Dark Blood #2, published by BOOM! Studios! Created and written by acclaimed screenwriter LaToya Morgan (The Walking Dead, Parenthood) with interior art by Walt Barna and Moisés Hidalgo, colors by A.H.G., and cover art by Valentine De Landro (Bitch Planet), this 6-issue miniseries blends World War II history with dark sci-fi mystery.

The upper trade dress features the red BOOM! STUDIOS logo box in the top-left corner alongside creative team credits (LATOYA MORGAN • WALT BARNA • MOISÉS HIDALGO • A.H.G.) and issue text reading TWO OF SIX in the top-right corner. The title logo DARK BLOOD stretches boldly across the top in striking crimson lettering.

The dual-panel cover illustration—crafted by Valentine De Landro—presents a stark contrast between past and present. The top segment depicts a soldier in WWII gear holding a submachine gun against an explosive battlefield backdrop in cool green tones, while the lower segment depicts protagonist Avery Aldridge in warm red-orange tones, holding his hands out in shock as his wife hugs him from behind in front of their suburban home.

Set in 1955 Alabama, the story follows Avery Aldridge, a Black WWII veteran trying to live a quiet life with his family. However, the secret supernatural abilities and trauma stemming from a classified military incident during the war begin to resurface, threatening everything he holds dear.

This unslabbed raw comic issue is in top-tier collectible condition (estimated VF/NM 9.0 or better), with sharp edges, a flat spine, and vibrant color tone—making it an essential pickup for fans of LaToya Morgan, Valentine De Landro, BOOM! Studios, historical sci-fi, and indie comics.
