Skinner Sweet is back. The monster from
the old wild west returns to doing what he does best. Hunting down
the old breed of vampires. And this time he is doing it for Uncle
Sam. Partnering up with his old crush/protege Pearl Jones. The two of
them are set loose in Hollywood to undertake their own witchhunt.
While the government tries to sniff out the communists, the two of
them are here to bring to light any incidents of Vampires being
hidden among the rich, affluent movie magnates.
Skinner Sweet and Pearl Jones always
have such wonderful chemistry together that its a wonder most issues
in the series arent centred about them. Skinner's character is pretty
much what drew a lot of people to this series, including me. He acts
as a perfect foil to the good hearted Pearl. Add to this the fact
that we know the European breed of Bloodsuckers indeed have something
up their sleeve (thanks to Lord of Nightmares) and this story becomes
doubly interesting.
