BOOM! Studios has announced that the Day Men Vol. 1 trade paperback, which collects the first four issues of the thrilling series by industry legend Brian Stelfreeze and writers Matt Gagnon and Michael Alan Nelson, is set to debut this November at the introductory price of just $9.99. Critically acclaimed, Day Men features a complex network of secret vampire covens that control the world and the human bodyguards—or Day Men—who work for and protect their masters during the day. Day Men is currently under option for the big screen by Universal Studios.

For thousands of years, the world has been controlled by the “50 Families,” a secret network of vampire covens engaged in a timeless struggle for power. But when the sun rises, the vampires are forced to employ the services of a human who acts as their daytime fixer and protector. Trained for centuries to be the mortal soldiers of their vampire employers, the Day Men go forth at sunrise, alone into the world, to do the bidding of their sleeping benefactors.

The Day Men Vol. 1 TP collects issues #1-4 and will be available for purchase at the local comic shop nearest you on November 5th—the same day that issue #5 comes out—and carries an introductory retail price of $9.99.
