I, Vampire # 0 VF/NM

I, Vampire # 0 September 26, 2012, reimagined the origin of Andrew Bennett as part of DC’s "Zero Month" during The New 52. 

• Writer: Joshua Hale Fialkov
• Artist: Andrea Sorrentino
• Cover Artist: Clayton Crain 

Set in 1591 England, the issue reveals the tragic transition of nobleman Andrew Bennett into a creature of the night. 

• The Accident: Fleeing his father’s disapproval over his love for a maid named Mary Seward, Andrew is involved in a carriage crash that leaves him pinned and his driver dead.
• Cain's Appearance: He is approached by Cain, the first vampire, who retells his own history (including ties to Etrigan and Madame Xanadu) before biting Andrew.
• The Curse: Because Cain cannot feed on the innocent, his bite passes the vampiric curse to Andrew but also grants him a unique ability to control his hunger for human blood, unlike others of his kind.
• The Fallout: Realizing he is a monster, Andrew sends a letter to Mary vowing to never see her again, though he eventually turns her to save her, setting up their centuries-long conflict.
