Guardian Angels as Vampires: The Disturbing Comic Book Series of Lia Scott Price

Horror Author Lia Scott Price's dark and gruesome comic book series features vampires with an edgy twist: She turns your everyday Guardian Angel into brutal, vicious, and fearsome serial killers, vampires who can only find their victims through their prayers of despair. Price says of her characters: "They are psychopaths: psychotic, and deadly. It's a disturbing concept--you never know who you're praying to, or summoning. They no longer want to help us. Now they just want to eat us."

The "Vampire Guardian Angels™" comic book series is drawn by Artists Andrew Setter and Colorist/Letterer Chad Hammontree. Price turned her Vampire Trilogy Novel "The Guardian, Revenant, and Dominion", featuring her unique characters, into 24-page fully-illustrated comic books.

Each story follows the transformation of the characters from helpful Guardian Angel to evil Vampire. Corresponding to each of the 3 stories from the novel, Issue 1 "The Guardian" features a peek at how Guardian Angels became vicious vampires. Issue 2 "Revenant" provides more insight into the character's transformation and motives, and Issue 3 "Dominion" reveals their true origins.

Artists Andrew Setter and Chad Hammontree are currently working on the next issues, "Resurrection: Afterlife" (Issue 4) and "Rule of Blood" (Issue 5), each one bloodier than the next.

Q and A about Vampire Guardian Angels Part 1

Vampire Guardian AngelsTM FAQ

What are they?
They are Guardian Angels that became Vampires.

Why Guardian Angels?
-Because you don't really know what they are. They could really be evil.
-They have issues--they hate their jobs, and us.

Who created them?
Horror Author Lia Scott Price.

Who wrote the comic book series?
Horror Author Lia Scott Price. It's based on her Vampire Trilogy novel "The Guardian, Revenant, and Dominion".

Who are the artists?
Andrew Setter (Illustrator), and Chad Hammontree (Colorist/Letterer/Graphic Artist, and Art Director).

What is the series about?
Guardian Angels that have become vampires and who want to enslave humans.

How did Lia come up with her characters?:
She challenges the popular belief that Guardian Angels are good protectors: What if they aren't good? Why not turn them into something evil, like a Serial Killer, and a Vampire?

How are they different?
-Sunlight, holy water, crosses--no effect (They're still holy entities).
-They are almost invincible.
-They are also Serial Killers--they can only target certain victims.
-They prefer to slice you with sharp weapons and drink. Less struggling, less work. No need to bite necks.

How do they target humans?
You have to pray to, or summon them, for help. They only target people when they hear prayers of whining and begging to them. They'll attack you only if you pray in despair to them. (Besides eating you, they want to shut you up.)

How do I avoid one?
Don't pray to one in vain. You can repel them with holy water. It stings them a little. But you better get away fast.

How do I kill one?
-They can only be killed by a "good angel" or one of their own who had become "good" again. 
-However, the blood of holy relics heals them if they can get to the relics in time.

How to Avoid a Vampire Guardian Angel



1. Don't whine to one.
2. Don't pray for help or in despair to one.
3. Avoid begging for help to an Angel statue ('cause that's how these Vampires hide).
4. Don't ask for an end to your suffering.

Because this is how they find you.
Your despair is their beacon.
They are programmed to answer your prayers.
But they hate your whining.
They want to shut you up.
And you may end up being dinner.

How Do You Kill A Vampire Guardian Angel?



I decided to give my characters some redeeming qualities, the classic good vs evil. So in my stories, only an angel who stays good, or who has turned back to good, can kill an evil one. But they may not always do that.....it's tricky because of the temptation towards power and freedom from having to protect and watch over humans, and finally having their own free will, and getting to do whatever they want. 

They could go either way---good or evil---and you'd have to convince one to kill the other.

They can be repelled with a little holy water--it stings their faces--it will only give you time to run away though. But you have to run fast before they find you.

They can also be healed with the blood of ancient saints--which is why they seek out holy relics and reliquaries kept by the Catholic Churches. They are also healed by the "Incorruptible bodies" of preserved saints, who are actually ancient Vampires in disguise who were concealed by the Church.

That, I think, is what makes this series so challenging to write. The audience has to figure out which one ends up being the good one. And just when you think the good one prevails, evil may just keep coming back. Or the good one turns evil. Or I may make the evil one relent. Do they ever die? Who knows? That's the fun part about writing this series---I want to keep the audience guessing.
