When Little Vampire says his parents are 'the living dead,' Michael replies, 'Mine are the dead dead that's why I'm an orphan.' Michael reappears in the more macabre Little Vampire Does Kung Fu! ( -85769-1,ĭue in September), in which he wants to kill a school bully but learns self-defense instead. The Captain is kind despite his horrific appearance (he wears a human mask 'so I don't frighten the little boy too much'), and Michael is an unshockable Jewish agnostic with a matter-of-fact attitude toward death. After an ordinary set-up, unpredictability reigns. He also writes notes to the boy, Michael, breaking the rules of the spirit world and angering a skull-faced Flying Dutchman called the Captain of the Dead. He longs to go to school with other children, and his glamorous, purple-haired mother gives permission-'if you promise you'll be back before dawn.' Little Vampire soon discerns that school happens 'in broad daylight,' so he settles for doing homework for a lazy boy. The titular gentle gray-faced lad haunts a mansion along with many nasty ghouls and one memorable sidekick, a sardonic bright-red bulldog.
