DayBlack, Vol. 2: DayBlack

Beneath the polluted clouds of DayBlack Georgia, a man exists. After hundreds of years, of killing to survive, he no longer wants to simply exist...he wants to live. DayBlack is the story of Merce, a former slave who was bitten by a vampire in the cotton fields. Four hundred years later he works as a tattoo artist in the small town of DayBlack. With a sky so dense with pollution, the sun is nowhere to be seen, allowing Merce to move about freely, night or day. In response to H.I.V.being released into the population to wipe out the vampire threat, Merce has developed a tattoo machine that extracts blood, while it gives ink, allowing him to screen it for purity before consuming it. Drinking blood this way, and not straight from the source has proven problematic for Merce, causing him to have bizarre dreams he can't decipher, and falling asleep randomly, even while he tattoos. More problematic is the emergence of someone from his past to remind him of a debt that he has yet to fulfill.
