In DC/Vertigo's new 5-issue miniseries a bizarre, colorful creature of the night stalks the streets of 1920s Paris: The Creeper. The enigmatic hero has her sights set on the upper class, but what are the true motivations behind The Creeper's actions?

When darkness falls…

BEWARE THE CREEPER

Paris, 1925: a city of dreams…and a city of nightmares. A violent rapist prowls the city streets while the corrupt authorities, controlled by a wealthy right-wing family, turn a blind eye. From the burgeoning art scene emerges an enigmatic hero — the bizarre, brash and colorful creature of the night known as The Creeper. And she's got one word for the self-serving upper-class: Beware.

BEWARE THE CREEPER is a 5-issue VERTIGO miniseries by an exciting, fresh creative team that takes on a DC classic and reshapes it with a VERTIGO twist: writer Jason Hall (co-creator of Pistolwhip, Wizard's Best Indie Book of 2001 and one of Time.com’s Best Comics of 2001) and artist Cliff Chiang (Josie Mac, Batman: The Golden Streets of Gotham).

In the aftermath of World War I, the bohemian art scene explodes onto Paris — much to the chagrin of the rich and powerful Arbogast family. Ravishing surrealist painter Judith Benoir wants desperately to make a splash — even if it means ignoring the warnings of her jilted lover Inspector Allain and her prudish sister Madeline. Amid the cultural clash among aristocracy, religion and the avant-garde, The Creeper escalates her simple cat burglaries into spectacular art crimes, establishing her as a cultural icon. But what are the true motivations behind The Creeper's actions? And how long before her antics spiral out of control and the law closes in?

Set against the intriguing historic backdrop of 1920s Paris and full of action, drama and suspense, BEWARE THE CREEPER is a smart, sexy thriller with a visual flair inspired by films such as Moulin Rouge and The City of Lost Children.

BEWARE THE CREEPER is a 5-issue VERTIGO miniseries edited by Will Dennis and is suggested for mature readers.
