Ham Helsing: Vampire Hunter is the first volume of a new graphic novel series by Rich Moyer. It is currently scheduled for release on June 1 2021. Ham Helsing is the descendant of a long line of adventurers and monster hunters--who don't often live to rest on their laurels. Ham has always been the odd pig out, preferring to paint or write poetry instead of inventing dangerous (dumb) new ways to catch dangerous creatures. His brother Chad was the daredevil carrying on the family legacy of leaping before looking, but after his death, it's down to Ham. Reluctantly, he sets out on his first assignment, to hunt a vampire. But Ham soon learns that people aren't always what they seem and that you need a good team around you to help save your bacon!
Ham Helsing is a well drawn and written graphic novel for young readers. I loved the humor and fun in the story,as well as the lessons woven in about being different and judging by appearance. At first I was not sure I was going to like where the story was going- but once I was introduced to Ham Helsing, the vampire, the chicken, and especially the tree pig I was eager for more. I really enjoy the twists of the story and thought it was well paced. I can think of many readers that will greatly enjoy this book and will be looking for more, myself included.
