Issue description
Presenting the first chapter of a five-part Spike saga spanning centuries! A hundred and
twenty years ago, a tribe of gypsies inflicted a terrible curse upon the vampire known as
Angelus... a curse that brought a terrible vengeance upon the tribe in the form of
Angelus's family: Darla, Drusilla, and most notably, William the Bloody, a.k.a. "Spike."
But the gypsy clan has a dark and powerful supporter: Count Dracula. Outraged over the
slaughter of the gypsies, Dracula seeks revenge upon the three vampires... and thus
begins a rivalry between Spike and Dracula that will cover decades. A rivalry steeped in
blood... honor... and eleven quid.
