"Pat Mills and Olivier Ledroit have [...] succeeded in elevating Requiem: Vampire Knight into must-read territory." Mike Isenberg, Associate Production Coordinator at comiXology
REQUIEM – THE 2000AD STORY THAT GOT AWAY
Requiem – with its original title ‘The Resurrectionist' – began life as a story outline for 2000AD towards the end of the 1990s. With no artist in mind, my outline was nevertheless received with great enthusiasm by editorial and went through a number of versions as I polished and developed the characters and the world. But then that enthusiasm suddenly and mysteriously died away
So I teamed up with French artist Olivier Ledroit; he added some further ambitious story elements to the Resurrectionist, such as an entire spectrum of Gothic horror characters, too much for a weekly comic, and the series went on to become a best-seller.

In addition to the original core plot, 2000AD style can be seen everywhere in Requiem – the black comedy, the action, the satire and the horror, fuelled by Olivier’s innovative ideas and incredible art.
