Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #1 – 2012 marks the mystical and moody debut of a supernatural thriller steeped in the eerie atmosphere of New Orleans. Published by Vertigo, an imprint of DC Comics known for its mature and genre-pushing stories, this first issue introduces readers to a dark world of hidden magic, bloodlines, betrayal, and destiny.

Written by Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, former editor-in-chief of The Source magazine, and featuring hauntingly stylised artwork by Denys Cowan, this comic blends Southern Gothic horror with voodoo mythology and a modern mystery at its core. The result is a compelling and layered narrative that is equal parts urban fantasy and occult drama.

Dominique Laveau is a young woman studying at Tulane University who finds herself thrust into a centuries-old conflict after surviving a brutal supernatural attack. As secrets surrounding her heritage begin to surface, she discovers that she may be the last descendant of an ancient and powerful voodoo lineage—making her a key player in the battle for control of the mystical underworld of New Orleans.

This debut issue excels in building an atmospheric world, filled with shadowy figures, magical politics, and richly detailed backdrops. Denys Cowan’s gritty, expressive artwork adds depth and texture to the city’s haunted streets, while the narrative raises questions that hint at long-form storytelling, making this an enticing first chapter for fans of American Gods, The Sandman, or Constantine.

Originally published in 2012, Dominique Laveau: Voodoo Child #1 is ideal for readers looking for something different—an original voice in the supernatural comics space, with cultural nuance and mythological weight. It’s a strong collector's piece for those interested in Vertigo's final years and the imprint’s ongoing influence on genre storytelling.
