“Blood. Magic. Bad decisions. Welcome to the world of Blood & Banter.”

 “Stylish horror. Sharp comedy. Real characters. Real stakes.”

Blood & Banter is a stylish horror-comedy comic series following Jerry — a centuries-old, sarcastic vampire with a Dexter-style inner monologue — and Nicadimus & Jessica, a voodoo-fueled monster-hunting duo in the heart of New Orleans. Monsters, magic, and dark humor crash together in a world where danger and laughter hit at the same time.

Blood & Banter is a creator-owned horror-comedy comic series written and illustrated by Chad Dingler. Set in the strange, vibrant streets of New Orleans, the story follows three unforgettable characters brought together by a supernatural event that shouldn’t have been possible.

Jerry is an ancient vampire — older than ghosts, demons, and most myths. He hides his monstrous nature behind charm, sarcasm, and a Dexter-style inner monologue. Jerry has spent centuries staying one step ahead of the supernatural world… until something in New Orleans finally forces him out of the shadows.

Across the city, Nicadimus, a brooding practitioner of old magic, senses a dangerous presence on his map — blood he throws onto the wall reveals a creature pretending to “help” its victims. By his side is Jessica, a lean, sharp-witted apprentice with more heart than she admits and a talent for trouble.

When the three collide, the real story begins:

Vampires. Voodoo. Ghosts. Monsters. Comedy. Action. Mystery.

A world where horror meets humor, and character-driven storytelling stays at the heart of every page. This is the start of a full universe of supernatural stories — and Issue #1 is just the beginning.
